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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Thus, by Graham's reasoning, although RCW 4.16.200 ... tells us to look to the probate nonclaim statutes for the applicable statute of limitation instead of to RCW 4.16.080, RCW 11.40.011 directs us in a circular path leading directly back to RCW 4.16.080.... We reject this circular reasoning. To adopt this reasoning would render RCW 4.16.200 meaningless.... [I]t is inconceivable that the Legislature intended to render RCW 4.16.200 meaningless, or did so accidentally.”
