The analysis

The claim refers to the standard Fisher equation definition in economics ($i = r + ho^e$ or $R = r + e_e$), which explicitly incorporates expected inflation rather than ex-post actual inflation. This is a standard definition found in any introductory economics textbook and constitutes common knowledge.
