Default Cosmic Landscape seen in WMAP data?

http://www.astro.ucla.edu/~wright/CMB-DT.html
p. 776 of Penrose's "The Road to Reality" cites data analysis of COBE,
BOOMERANG, & WMAP by Gurzadyan et-al that shows a small negative spatial
curvature K 0 and repulsive gravity negative pressure zero point
energy /\ ~ 0.7 critical density. This is what Susskind predicts in his
"Cosmic Landscape" book with 10^500 pocket universes in the Megaverse.

There is the L = 2 quadrupole problem in the WMAP that suggests K =/= 0
on largest scales, though close to K = 0.
