my 8-12% accounts for true quality improvements in that folks are choosing to live better, paying more, rather than adjusting for quality per hedonics and layering on top w/ chain dollar, simultaneously doubling subjective quality of cat food and concurrently substituting cat food for lobster

i would go w/ shadowstats numbers for macro

i would not go for bls numbers for anything needing to be useful

i am okay with lots of people going with bls numbers, for another 10 good years

you are free to choose your path forward, and if i understand you correctly, you are choosing bls over shadow stats, even as shadow stats are just calculating numbers consistently per 1971 methodology
