Why do they exclude food and energy

because they are so volatile. note that excluding them caused reported core CPI to be higher for many years during falling energy prices.

why AG is so keen on ignoring real estate inflation

because he ignores asset prices. if he is going to count RE inflation, then he should count stock-price inflation as well. last year Nasdaq stocks inflated by mid double digits. most of the population is happy when RE prices go up, whereas they are not happy when other prices go up.

the more extreme adjustments are hedonics.
