LOL!
You and Williams know more about "the impact on the CPI of using soft metrics such as hedonics and the substitution effect which are subject to corruption by the power that be du jour" than the entire bond market combined.
Uh, huh. Sure.
You believe Shadowstats because you want to believe Shadowstats, not because of anything factual or because you possess an understanding of the marketplace or how these calculations are determined. Debating people with a fixed mentality is a waste of time. This is just more proof.

Debating people with a fixed mentality is a waste of time. True. LOL.
And those who substitute insults for addressing the original post about hedonics and substitution effect lack logical arguments to rebut the corruption resulting from said 'enhancements' to the CPI.
