It’s so hard to refute this one. They’re obviously closely linked, but that makes associations so much stronger in people’s minds.
I remember physics class. Our teacher was desperately trying to explain that, in circular motion, the resulting force is THE RESULT of adding all others, and that resulting force results in circular motion, not some magical additional force because something is turning. Just like your quote, cause and effect were reversed. (Resp. rather, instead of cause, rising costs are inflation.)

Hasn’t this changed ages ago? IIRC they lost the one thing that made them unique.
