I'm not going to fight about it. I don't care enough to fight about it and I don't feel the need to be 'right' about it. I think Investopedia has summed it up quite nicely.
"What Should Investors Do?
Investors could use the official CPI numbers, accepting the government reported figures at face value. Alternatively, investors are faced with choosing either Williams' or Ranson's measure of inflation, implicitly accepting the argument that the officially reported figures are bogus. Therefore, it is up to investors to become informed on the topic and take their own stance in the issue."
