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

Such an arrangement does not promote, it defeats, the purposes for which section 74 and the other bankruptcy statutes were enacted.”
