My article is a mathematical proof that has nothing to do with observations of
inflation.

What I did is prove that if there is tail emission/fixed supply, the coin
supply will converge towards a fixed amount because the coin supply dependant
rate of coin loss balances out the fixed rate of coin production.

That proof has nothing to do with market dynamics and would happen in any
system, economic or not, with similar underlying dynamics.
