One reason governments tend to choose mild inflation over mild deflation is to favor those who are trying to accumulate wealth as opposed to those who already hold it.

both deflation and inflation have one common property and that is they are both difficult environments to make progress in regards to accumulating wealth.

Those two sentences are contradictory.

I agree with the second one. Inflation is a difficult environment to accumulate wealth. As a matter of fact, if one would have majority of wealth tied up in cash and bonds it would be very difficult to hold on to that wealth as well.

If you agree with the first sentence, it means that you are confusing inflation with wealth. Inflation transfers wealth , but in itself inflation does not generate any wealth.
