Yeah, sounds like a misunderstanding. If you read through Xachariah's post again I think you'll find it's not just the word "rational"; he pretty much does roll call on all the inflationary words used as examples in the OP.
Oops, you're right.
Edit: I've gained way too much karma from this exchange when it seems I should've instead lost some for not paying attention.
Graceful recovery is more impressive, and useful to the community as a whole, than not having slipped up in the first place.
Christians seem to agree. :D
