But at LOW multiples, i.e. LARGE scales, it has LESS power than
the otherwise best-fit cosmological model suggests. So, if you think
that the lack of power is due to foreground objects, these foreground
objects would have to make the CMB more smooth than it would otherwise
be on LARGE scales. (Again, at the mK level, of course.)
If that is unlikely, you imply that the "otherwise best-fit
cosmological model" must be wrong! You are not referring to
the concordance model then, I presume? Which model are we
talking about?
