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

[later disagreed], does not require a finding that the representation below was so inadequate as to amount to a denial of effective assistance of counsel. 13”
