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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “* * * The opinion of an expert must be based upon facts, either proved or assumed. An expert opinion based upon a nebulous factual foundation is of little value in arriving at the truth of a proposition. The value of an opinion of an expert is dependent upon and is no stronger than the facts on which it is based.”
