1. ““The testimony of an expert is to be considered like any other testimony, is to be tried by the same test and receive just so much weight and credit as the jury (or judge) may deem it entitled to when viewed in connection with all other circumstances. There is no logical distinction between expert opinion testimony and fact testimony and the values of both are to be measured by precisely the same standards. The rule is not different even though the expert evidence is uncontradicted.””
