When I read Scott Alexander's post I couldn't shake the notion that he could have saved himself a lot of writing if he simply read up on how CPI is calculated and noticed that it's a very limited measure of real inflation.

I don't think saving himself writing is high on the list of that dude's motivations. :P

[rbcgerard]

What real inflation measure should he have used?

What writing exactly could he save himself? I'm confused.
