And that person is already in the upper extreme of most affected.
For you to make a scenario where that is multiplied even further goes beyond anything realistic.
It was clear what you were doing, but that doesn't make it reasonable.
Your other comment says "I'm disagreeing that the doubling or tripling of the prices of basic foodstuffs such as eggs, flour, milk etc. is a silly thing to get hung up on." but you're really going about arguing that in a bad way.
If 5% of your diet triples in price, that's a notable setback, but building up the 5% into a much bigger percent for the sake of argument doesn't make a very convincing one.
There is a huge difference between one foodstuff going up at a time versus all of them, especially if it's temporary. I'm much more worried about the price of every food that isn't eggs. If you gave me a choice between cutting eggs 3x or cutting everything else 10%, I think I'd do the latter.
