No disagreements here! What you're doing here is recognising that the waste incurred from storage is less of a problem than the waste incurred through Transportation, or Waiting for resupply. In this case, inventory is waste worth doing. Any workshop needs to keep SOME spare parts, every house needs to have SOME food in the freezer. But that doesn't mean it's not a kind of waste to store stuff -- a fact people acknowledge when they choose not to rent a warehouse to store even more.
What I'm saying is that it's a trade-off. In fact it's a pretty bland statement, obvious when you think about it, but putting it into words like this can be helpful when making processes more efficient.
