Hello , 

Thanks for the correction - it however boils down to the same principle : diluting other holders, possibly excessively, if you miscalculate the coins "lost".

Which boils down to the same question again : How would you definitively know that coins are "lost" or simply not accessed for x amount of time?

Re-read the article: https://petertodd.org/2022/surprisingly-tail-emission-is-not-inflationary

It has nothing to do with re-assigning ownership of coins.
