I think Mase is the one who is fond of pointing out that, for all the complaints about one inflation number not including such volatile figures as food and energy, there is another that includes them. It appears to be simple laziness that others can't be bothered to look it up.

Paul's point must be that food inflation is really 66%, if the only food you consume is orange juice. I don't remember the last time I bought any orange juice, so my food inflation must be 0%. Using the Paul Ross inflation index of course.

Paul may make the effort to look it up but he won't ever believe it. He, like many others of the doomer persuasion, would rather argue that they're smarter than the entire bond market and all the banks.
Unfortunately, the fact that these guys still have to work for a living tells us all we need to know about that possibility.
