My colleague Tomasz Stasiuk from Colorado Springs, CO will be publishing a rebuttal on Sept 4 on his blog - www.socialsecurityinsider.com. I think that there are arguments for both positions and, of course, one can deal with the issue on a case by case basis. Nick, I think that there is support for your position.

Although as attorneys we are required to provide zealous advocacy, ethics rules also require us to remain candid with the courts. I have found that being candid with adverse evidence has made ALJ's more trusting that I am not hiding the ball with a claim. I disagree with your position, Jonathan.
