To clarify, price inflation is not caused by market production. Attributing the 
observed lack of inflation (eg fee %) to loss is an assumed relation.

Even if the amount of loss was known (which it is not), there remains an 
assumption in the correlation of non-lost coins to price. Demand determines 
price, not the amount of something in existence, hence the folly of S2F 
(1/monetary-inflation).
