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 43 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Whether something is feasible relates not only to actual possibility of operation, and its cost and convenience, but also to its ultimate utility and success in its intended performance. That is to say, “feasible” means not only “possible,” but also means “capable of being . . . utilized, or dealt with successfully.” Webster’s Third New International Dictionary mi (unabridged ed. 1967); see Black’s Law Dictionary 549 (5th ed. 1979) (“reasonable assurance of success”).”
