> ratios dont account for inflation

For future inflation. It was relatively low between 2010 and 2020 and has been reducing at a fairly fast pace recently. It’s not obvious it won’t go back to the baseline.

They don't account for any inflation at all.

I am just explaining how inflation influences p/e interpretation.

Everyone has their own model of what they think inflation will be in the future, which they use to judge PE and roi.
