A woman is eating alone at a restaurant. Her waiter makes some small talk, takes her drinks order, and brings over some nibbles. She's friendly and the waiter thinks she's flirting with him. She's ready to order and thinks this is his chance, swaggers up to the table, leans over to her and whispers, "fancy a quickie?" She stands up, slaps him in the face and storms out of the restaurant. Someone from the neighbouring table says to him, "Ah, I think it's pronounced 'quiche.'"

If Bart kills the bartender he becomes the bartenderender

Looks like it is, from the paper:

Popper is named after Karl Poppper, whose idea of falsification [53] inspired our approach, as it did Shapiro’s MIS approach [61]. In fact, one can view our approach as Popper’s idea of falsification, where a failure is a refutation/falsification. In other words, in our approach, a learner deduces what hypotheses cannot be true and prunes them from the hypothesis space, leaving only hypotheses not yet refuted.

I don't think so. They're still making the exact same revenue per sale on average. The cost isn't relevant here, another way of looking at it is in the case the customer pays nothing they've lost the cost of the goods and the profit they would have otherwise made, so it evens out.

It works out well for the seller if, by providing the option to gamble on the product, they increase sales, which I would guess it would (at the expense of being morally grey).

Afaik inflation, even in the economics sense of the word, is just the increase in the price of things. We have different measures or inflation, e.g in the UK (and probably similarly in many other countries) we often measure inflation, for the purposes of fiscal policy, via consumer and retail price indexes, literally the cost of a certain range of items.

Printing money eventually causes prices to rise because there's more money in circulation but the same number of goods, thus the prices increase (eventually). It's a cause of inflation, not the cause.
