'Nature' is not good enough for papers that challenge mainstream cosmology.

'arXiv' is not good enough for papers that challenge mainstream cosmology.

'MNRAS' is not good enough for papers that challenge mainstream cosmology.

How about a scientific discussion instead of basing judgement on where the paper is posted?

A rescaling of the distance measure (luminosity vs comoving distance) does not affect homogeneity, isotropy, nor angular fluctuations. The 'errors' (if any) made by Sylos Labini++ don't change their conclusion.

Sawala's paper only shows consistency of the isotropy assumption with the isotropic simulation of FLAMINGO, i.e. it's a tautology.
