It could end up like searching for bible codes. If you pick your number keys and your intervals just right, you can find all kinds of words and phrases.

I had exactly the same reaction to this; with enough anisotropies in the CMBR, they can claim to find just about any "message" they want; much as the Bible-code people have claimed.
The trouble is, if you accept the Bible coders at face value, than you are also compelled, by the very same methods, that Melville was secretly encoding messages when he wrote "Moby Dick."
And we all know what the ultimate Secret Message is:
"Don't forget to eat more Ovaltine..."
