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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““General human experience justifies the inference that when one looks in the direction of an object clearly visible, he sees-it." When there is evidence to the effect that one did look, but did- not see that which was in plain sight, it follows that either some part of such evidence is untrue or the person was negligently inattentive.””
