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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“do not expressly preclude reopening to revise a determination based upon the application of an incorrect legal standard or the misinterpretation of law existing at the time of the determination. The regulations merely prohibit reopening when a change of legal interpretation or administrative ruling upon which the initial determination was based constitutes the sole basis for reopening. Reopening to change a legal interpretation is precluded because when a question of legal interpretation is involved the evidence considered in making the determination does not clearly show on its face that an error was made. In contrast, when the application of an incorrect legal standard or the misinterpretation of law existing at the time of the determination is involved the evidence clearly shows on its face that an error was made.”
