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 30 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Admittedly, the line between “constructive notice,” which is not within the scope of 49 U.S.C. § 1403 (c), and “implied actual notice,” which is, is a fine one. But “constructive notice” often means no notice, while “implied actual notice” requires (1) actual knowledge of (2) highly suspicious circumstances, coupled with (3) an unaccountable failure to react to them. This in turn is a shade short of the form of actual knowledge that consists of closing your eyes because you’re afraid of what you would see if you opened them.”
