The people who caused the problem say they weren't responsible for the problem.

That goes both directions, though. Central banks are prone to understating their responsibility for bad things; the gold bugs and crypto hodl folks are prone to overstating it.

The answer likely lies somewhere in the middle. The US's relatively soft landing post-pandemic seems to demonstrate some use of monetary policy in this fashion works.
