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

1. “Even if we ignored the diminished importance of S.S. Egero in the context of the circuit’s more recent and thorough examination of ‘proprietary interest’ in Testbank, the facial applicability of S.S. Egero to Marathon’s [plaintiffs] claim is tenuous: Marathon was not in the process of constructing a pipeline when the damage occurred; instead, the pipeline, which was ' actually owned by TETCO, was already constructed and operating. Since S.S. Egero stands for the proposition that a builder under contract is the owner of what it is building until it receives payment and transfers actual title, it does not support Marathon’s claim that the oil company was the functional owner of the 20-ineh pipeline.”
