I think it's more likely rates will start creeping up - probably by a point or two to give the impression that something is happening.

When tradition dictates that rates must go up, up they'll go.

This will make no sense and will be a bad thing, but the monetarists only have tradition to draw on. Expecting anything else is equivalent to expecting them to innovate, which isn't something central banks are good at.
