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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Admissibility depends in part on “the proffered connection between the scientific research or test result to be presented and particular disputed factual issues in the case.” ... Daubert explains that, “[i]t is not always obvious, and scientific validity for one purpose is not necessarily scientific validity for other, unrelated purposes.” .'.. Thus, even if an expert’s proposed testimony constitutes scientific knowledge, his or her testimony will be excluded if it is not scientific knowledge for purposes of this case. “Rule 702’s helpfulness’ standard requires a valid scientific connection to the pertinent inquiry as a precondition to admissibility.””
