Hubble never "came around".

concerning spatial curvature if the redshift correction was made
assuming no recession. To the very end of his writings he maintained
this position, favouring (or at the very least keeping open) the model
where no true expansion exists, and therefore that the redshift
"represents a hitherto unrecognized principle of nature."[23]"

Good catch, AA! So I guess I'm guilty of doing what most people have
done? I have endowed Hubble with a discovery and belief that he did
not make nor possess.


Here Painus uses the "But MOM, everyone is doing it" defense.

I guess the old tricks are the best tricks?
