Craig, you keep on repeating the same points which I have shown
previously already to be inappropriate or simply incorrect in this
context.
Please read the very references you have been quoting more carefully
and try to set them in a proper context to my claims. As I have said
before, there is nothing in the data analysis that would take a
possible random fluctuation in the signal itself into account (given
the differential nature of the experiments) and as such the data must
be considered at least as dubious. In this sense, my interpretation of
certain features in the power spectrun are at least as conclusive as
any cosmological interpretation (in fact it should be more conclusive
as it does not depend on the adjustment of any free parameters in order
to fit the theoretical spectrum to the observed one).
