The point of this discussion as I understand it is that the limited supply of bitcoin does not help with inflation in practice and, further, that monetary supply is not the only source of inflation to begin with.

It is correct that bitcoin is designed with limited supply in mind, but that does not necesaarily stop inflation and definitely doesn't in practice because currency risk dominates the perceived value of bitcoin.

As far as i remember, people often claimed that bitcoin protects against inflation, that statement has so many requirements attached so it doesn't matter in practice.
