I don't think that's what CJ meant. He's not telling you that inflation SHOULD be calculated that way, he's just explaining to you why it IS calculated that way, and he's right.

The question is, is there some index that better reflects reality that we can use to compare apples to apples over time? What would you use?

Look, that is the standard way of calculating inflation. And that is the reasoning. If you can find something better, knock yourself out. Regardless, you won't see hyper-inflation and if you plot it out over the past couple of years, you won't see any sign that we are creeping into a hyper-inflation scenario. Which was the topic of discussion.
