Yes, maybe.

Personally, I suspect the FOMC is more concerned about inflation than it is letting on in public.

There is no need to talk about it, because their response is the same regardless: gradually bring rates back in line with historic norms.

Talking about it is bad politics and might spook some folks. I think the hope there is that they will get inflation under control without ever having to raise the issue publicly to any extent.

But if there is evidence of economic slowing, that will put them in a difficult position. Even if this is the case, I don't think they'll do anything different for a few months at least, and instead they will just say they are not worried, but are monitoring the situation, and expect that this is just another soft patch that requires no action at this time.
