When I questioned the meaning, I was questioning the writer's choice of words, which appear at best to be confused mumbo-jumbo, and at worst are completely devoid of meaning. I was not questioning the intrinsic meaning of the variations.

"Stretching across the entire sky" is not properly descriptive of a "hugeness" of variations - indeed, a constant microwave background could also "stretch across the entire sky". So, I'm still wondering what, exactly, the author was trying to convey with that strange wording...

I question the introduction of the term "sky" in the whole thing. I'll have to read this later, after several sips of a good single malt..
