Read the following facts taken from an opinion. Then read a quote by the judge who wrote this opinion. What is dictum in this quote and why? [10 points] Facts in the opinion: Plaintiff sues a cable company for an injury to his foot allegedly caused by a gap or hole the company left in the sidewalk. He claims that it was dark out at the time and that he was unconscious after he fell. When he woke up, he saw the gap or hole. His leg was twisted, and he saw that his sneaker had come off. The company asked the court to dismiss the complaint because the plaintiff had failed to produce enough evidence of where he fell and what caused the fall. Quote of judge writing this opinion: "The cable company's position lacks merit. It is true that negligence claims will be dismissed if causation is based on pure speculation. In this case, however, plaintiff did in fact identify the cause and location of his accident. While he could not recall the exact manner in which his foot became entrapped in the alleged defect, and could not describe the way it looked on the night of the accident prior to his fall, he repeatedly identified the gap/hole between the sidewalk and the depressed cable vault cover as the condition that trapped his foot and caused him to fall. Plaintiff also specifically identified by circling and initialing on a photographic exhibit, the exact location and condition that caused his fall. The company's position would have merit if the accident had been caused by a transitory condition such as ice or a slippery liquid of nebulous nature. Here, plaintiff woke up with his leg twisted, then saw the gap, and even saw his sneaker off." Question: What is dictum in this quote and why
