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.

“Claims may be waived if not first presented in administrative proceedings. However, a plan participant need only exhaust claims, not theories or issues. As long as he or she has presented the claim to the administrative reviewing body, the participant may raise any theory or issue as to the reviewing body’s decision being arbitrary and capricious. However, a theory or issue raised in court proceedings must be based on evidence or information that was before the reviewing body.”
