I think you are confused with property accumulation. However property
inheritance predates this feature and totally ignores it.
Inheritance is an answer to the question "what should I do if the
property I'm looking for doesn't exist in the entry?". IOW, it only
kicks in, if at all, when property is /not found/ in current entry.
In your example, the property you're looking for is defined in every
entry, including the current one. Per above, Org doesn't even try to use
inheritance, and doesn't look at `org-use-property-inheritance'.
