I mentioned this in a different comment, but this assumes the uniform distribution of inflation, which isn't how it works.

Different segments of the economy can function as shock absorbers that bear the brunt of inflation, while other segments of the economy see their prices rise more slowly then the increase of wages.

Different sectors of the economy face different degrees of surplus and strain, and the relations between those structures are always up for renegotiation as new money enters the system.
