This is incorrect. I am this person and the argument I made by saying "the goalposts are moving" is that the many changes to the calculation methodology are consistently pushing the numbers down. I will also give a very strong example - 7 years ago ECB totally dropped housing costs from their inflation calculations[1]. How is this realistic?
I am not reading a phpBB called bogleheads.com, could you please provide some actual arguments to your claim?

- anotherman554 5y agoI apologize for my tone and edited my post. I'm not going to infringe the copyright of the person at the link by pasting it here. I'm also not going to paraphrase it because I wouldn't be able to add anything by doing so. It's a few paragraphs long, if you want to learn more I invite you to read it. If your argument is that the calculation of CPI has changed, that is not controversial. If it is the information on Shadowstats about how it has changed is real, you may want to read the link I provided.
