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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““While it is true *** that it would be difficult for the plaintiff to ascertain actual prejudice, even if it existed, from the anonymous basis on which the ‘Chief’s Rating’ was developed, this in no way indicates that there was any prejudice or partisanship and the mere possibility of such prejudice or partisanship cannot give rise to a cause of action, since that possibility is always present in human affairs. The statute does not require the detachment of a computer in making promotions for police officers, and it is perhaps just as well that in making such a decision we do not throw away judgments based on human experience and personal observations.” (Emphasis in original.)”
