I'm surprised that you feel that the Economist was being dishonest. "Real value" is such a basic term that virtually everyone in finance, economics, and politics should know. It was taught in my high school economics classes, one certainly need not be an economist to understand. Defining real vs nominal in this article would be like defining "variable" and "recursion" in an article about deep learning implementation at Google. Completely annoying and useless to those who subscribe.
