Did this make sense to you:  "If inflation had gone up by 40% in the same
period of time, then this would be a _good_ thing, not a bad one"?

To me, something that ridiculous is just perversity.  I'm not surprised if
my response was somewhat incoherent, since it was a response to such
ridiculousness.  The logical response to nonsense is to move on.  Which I'll
now do, perhaps a bit late.
