JUSTICE RARICK, dissenting: Because I believe the majority has substituted its judgment for that of the Commission on a question of fact, I dissent. As often stated, it is for the Commission to weigh and resolve conflicts in testimony and to choose among conflicting inferences therefrom. We as a reviewing court cannot reject or disregard permissible inferences drawn by the Commission merely because differing inferences may also be drawn from the same facts. Wagner Castings Co. v. Industrial Comm’n, 241 Ill. App. 3d 584, 594-95, 609 N.E.2d 397, 405 (1993). JUSTICE HOLDRIDGE joins in this dissent.
