And the paper openly states that velocities v > c are possible since they cannot be observed(essentially). That statement puts inflation in the category of faith and not science.

That's O.J. jury logic. Nobody on the jury saw O.J. do it, so no amount of evidence will ever be sufficient to pronounce a guilty verdict. The glove, the shoes, the CMBR were all planted by "the man" to fool us.

Yeah right. You would have the jury convict O.J. due to these words.

I know that there is concrete evidence that O.J. murdered Nicole but it became disconnected from causality so you cannot see it. Convict him anyway.

Or have them acquit O.J. due to these words.

O.J. could not have been in the home that night. He was in Europe. His corroborating witnesses have been taken by Martians and will be eternally unavailable. Release O.J.

Great theater, bad science.
