Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[a]ny technique that in its application was likely to have an enormous effect in resolving completely a matter in controversy had to be demonstrably reliable. Where, on the other hand, an expert opinion only helped a trier to interpret the evidence or was susceptible to evaluation from the trier’s own knowledge, it was received on a lesser showing of scientific reliability. Because “science” is often accepted in our society as synonymous with truth, there was a substantial risk of overweighting by the jury. The rules concerning scientific evidence appear to have been aimed at that risk.”
