I'm saying that higher inflation causes lower demand. Are you saying that lower demand causes higher inflation? If so, can you explain how you think that cause-and-effect works?

Lower demand causes lower inflation, lower demand is indicative of Fed tightening. Higher inflation often goes hand in hand with higher demand. Don't reason from a price change.
