No, I'm saying some of the technical specs, including the 21 million limit, exist to enforce an anti-inflationary system of monetary morals. Some people on the Core side argue that bitcoin should not block transactions if the reason for doing so is moral; if they were right, the 21 million limit should be dropped, because it exists to block inflationary transactions for moral reasons. Inflation is frequently used by governments to effectively steal from their populace by printing money without honest work, and that is bad, so such transactions are not allowed in bitcoin.
