MILLER, Chief Justice
(concurring specially).
I am in full accord with and concur in the majority opinion.
At the time of my special writing in Owen, I was persuaded that the “choice-influencing considerations” approach was preferable. Since that time, with the opportunity to give it further study and consideration, I am now convinced that “the most significant relationship” approach is the most appropriate for South Dakota. I would be less than candid if I did not note that Professor Thatcher’s fine law review article (35 S.D.L.Rev. 372) played a large part in stimulating my re-evaluation on this topic.
Konrad Adenauer was once quoted as saying, “I reserve the right to be smarter today than I was yesterday.” So do I!
