I am similarly skeptical of the economist dogma that "deflation is economically disastrous". Feels like a spherical cows argument deeply rooted in theory, but not necessarily true in practice.

I think it's bad for greedy corporations who would see their their profit margin shrink, but periods of temporary deflation every once and a while feels like it could be healthy for society.
