It's bullshit used to excuse and justify Fiat money.

There is no reason for a dynamically expanding money supply to exist (or even an expanding money supply at all).

Ultimately what actually matter is the goods and services being bought and sold, their price in whatever currency you use is irrelevant because the actual value remains the same.

This has been known since at least Sumer. The consistency of weights of measure is vital for a fair, durable, sustainable economy. Adjusting the ruler of trade only benefits the adjuster.
