LEIBSON, Justice,
concurring.
I concur in the Opinion. I add as a further comment this quote from Fitch v. Burns, Ky., 782 S.W.2d 618, 622 (1989):
We conclude that where the “burden of persuasion” requires proof by clear and convincing evidence, the concept relates more than anything else to an attitude or approach to weighing the evidence, rather than to a legal formula that can be precisely defined in words. Like “proof beyond a reasonable doubt,” “proof by clear and convincing evidence” is incapable of a definition any more detailed or precise than the words involved.
