It doesn't mean that the system uses the feed price to calculate the the amount of steem in the payout of any post. If it did the inflation rate would skyrocket when the price goes down...it doesn't...that is a fact.

The lower is the value of steem, lower our post will earn because our vote value are less valuable (but it doesn't mean that we earn less, because less contributor participate at the split of the rewards pool). That keeps inflation in check.

I am done with this discussion, too.
