Even where there is a possibility of unfair prejudice, this is not sufficient to exclude the evidence if it is extremely important to the proffering party's case. The use of the evidence may be limited, or partially expurgated to accommodate some of the objecting party's concerns, but if it is extremely probative, it is likely to come in.

I love it when these memes sneak in obscure references. The fact that it's page 23 and line 5 is significant. Both are important numbers for the Illuminati as dealt with in Robert Anton Wilson's The Illuminatus Trilogy. My own personal passwords all involve occurrences of 5 and 23.
