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.

“The argument is not that the evidence fails to address a material issue (physical ability), but that the evidence is so lacking in probative force that it should have been excluded. The modern view, however, is that evidence is probative if it tends in any degree to alter the probability of a material fact. [Citations omitted.] The view is codified in § 27-401: “Relevant evidence means evidence having any tendency to make the existence of any fact that is of consequence to the determination of the action more probable or less probable than it would be without the evidence.””

The modern view, however, is that evidence is probative if it tends in any degree to alter the probability of a material fact____ ... It is enough if the evidence offered could show that a material fact is slightly more probable than it would appear without that evidence____ ... As we have said, § 27-401 requires only that the degree of probativeness be something more than nothing.”
