3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“The ALJ may, of course, make credibility findings. In this case, however, the ALJ disbelieves [the plaintiff] primarily because the medical reports do not provide an objective basis for [his] subjective reports of pain. The AU may not circumvent the above cited cases under the guise of a credibility finding. He may disbelieve [the plaintiff's] subjective reports of pain because of inherent inconsistencies or other circumstances, but not solely because [the plaintiff] cannot show the exact physiological source of his pain.”
