>> Better, yes?
No.
>> It makes about as much sense
Sorry, perverting a valid statement into a tautology that suits your agenda a) does not constitute truth and b) does not make sense.
--and that's super easy to believe when we ignore what the Fed says and just read stuff from folks who don't like the Fed. That's why pundits get so much of their stuff published, it's the fact that most people prefer to have pundits telling 'em what to think becuase it saves them all that time, effort, and work doing their own thinking.
I can sure see why, I mean just look at that Beige book, it's all these pages of big words in little print with no pictures. I mean, most people here have already made up their minds anyway so there's really no advantage to bothering with what the Fed does when we can just pass along rumors that are far more sexy.
