COBE determined that the background radiation is indeed NOT uniform, but
rather blotchy. Even though that difference is measured in fractions of
a
degree K, nonetheless it matches the "clumpiness" of galaxy cluster
distribution throughout the observable universe.


Maybe you should revisit the figures. What's the magnitude
of the "blotchiness"? I think you'll find that the background
is remarkably uniform, and that the deviations are very, very
tiny in temperature.
