Because there is no default risk, there is SOME value, to say otherwise is absurd.

Secondly because I believe the bond market is efficient and will compensate me with greater yields when/if inflation is truly coming.

Thirdly because I don't believe any one human or website knows what the hell the real inflation rate is, just like I think the Fed knows diddly squat about what the appropriate interest rate is.
