Economists don't say this, what they say is a small amount of predictable inflation is better than deflation.
They do say it, and the reason they say it is that "wages are sticky" -- that is, they tend not to drop even when the market-clearing wage drops. Since it's very hard to reduce wages in nominal terms, inflation helps allow labor prices to drop in real terms.
