No you are misunderstanding my core point, the 'Inflation' is just a colloquial term we have coined for prices generally rising for many reasons some of which may be related new money being created because of money printing & Fed lending window. it just effects different sectors differently, so a TV may not go up so much but medicine goes up a lot. inflation is just average measure of that. if you provide protection from that to one type of gains then you are essentially telling society to go pile up in that & guess whats been happening lately.
