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

The petition may not be granted if it appears that the Board has reconsidered the case on its merits and/or changed its factual findings_ (citations omitted)”
