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.

“a party who relies upon a witness' opinion may not withhold from the jury the facts that are relied upon in forming the opinion, [cits.]. Furthermore, a jury is entitled to know all of the facts upon which the witness' opinion rests and the facts may be brought out on cross-examination. [Cits.]”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Over one hundred years ago, this Court held that it is the [trial] court’s duty to allow a searching and skillful test of the witness’ “intelligence, memory, accuracy and veracity,” [cit.], and that it is better for cross-examination to be “too free than too much restricted. . . .” [Cit.]”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“A basic principle of scientific testing is that careful records of test procedures and results are to be scrupulously maintained.
