This is a study of 1, so the usual caveats apply. There were also some problems with the premise: the case was never highly cited. It is also not currently silently overruled. But there are some indicators that could be useful, such as a later opinion calling the test in the case "arguably dicta"

And all of this was available from the texts themselves (including footnotes of course). I'd be very curious what sources outside the text @questauthority.bsky.social thinks are the only way to identify silently overruled cases.

You are misstating what I said. I agreed that there are likely to be indicators in the text. I don't think there are *reliable* indicators. So a study of one is, at least from my perspective, not particularly helpful. bsky.app/profile/ques...
