Do TIPS ETFs Make Sense?

I came across a very useful comment in a blog a while ago that real return bonds can, with patience, be bought at times with a yield high enough to offset the fact that they are indexed to the GOVERNMENT's calculation of inflation (which most of us profoundly distrust).
If you can pull that off, it makes sense to have a meaningful chunk of TAX-FREE RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS accounts in real return bonds (particularly so for those with partially indexed pensions which inevitably will fall behind if you are unfortunate enough to live beyond expectations).
