Inflammation is part of the immune response. It is beneficial when wounded and that's when the local body should become inflamed.

Chronic inflammation is not beneficial.

You are conflating the two

I’m not conflating anything. You’re saying the inflammation is beneficial, but what you’re describing is really a “lesser of two evils” situation, e.g. it’s better to have inflammation than it is to bleed out from a wound. But the best thing would be not to get a wound in the first place.
