CPI for example likely isn't being gamed, (I hope). There have been changes to the CPI so whoever made these does have the ability to push it into a certain direction. What I meant was, for a random fluff article I simply pick any of my favorite CPI categories and spin those to suit my main point.
Which is why Krugman is using CPI, and not some random category. He's smart enough to avoid that kind of pitfall.
