形容詞

overexact (comparative more overexact, superlative most overexact)

1. Too exact; overscrupulous; pedantic; overprecise.
   • 1910, Gilbert Holland Stewart, Legal Medicine‎, The Bobbs-Merrill Company, page 30:
     The manner also of a witness goes far to inspire confidence or distrust in his testimony. He should not proceed in an equivocal, halting manner, but use affirmative terms or his testimony will not receive that degree of credit which it will if he coolly, firmly and candidly, without any real or apparent prejudice or hesitation, states distinctly what he knows and upon what his knowledge is founded. If his manner upon the witness stand is open and free from that peculiar restraint and nervousness which is often the attendant of an honest witness and usually is supposed to characterize the interested or dishonest witness, and if he can give a clear and complete reason for his statements, then he will be believed. If, on the other hand, he is overexact or very loose in his statements, reluctant or unable to give a good reason for what he says, he will be distrusted and discredited.
