Default two nice commentaries on BICEP2, inflation, Steinhardt, et al

For anyone who hasn't seen them, here are two nice blog commentaries
on the recent claims and counter-claims of whether galactic dust could
account for the BICEP2 observations, Steinhardt's Nature News and Views
article ("Big Bang blunder bursts the multiverse bubble"), and whether
or not inflation is a testable scientific theory:

at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police
plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable
that they watched everybody all the time." -- George Orwell, "1984"

And here, for scientific balance, is another commentary (plus responses) on the BICEP2 "blunder" and Steinhardt's piece in Nature.
