New proof of cosmic inflation?

So the CMB is polarised in a manner consistent with inflation having happened. Very good.
(Puts Devil’s Advocate hat on).
But … Could there be an alternative explanation? Or possibly several alternative explanations?
Has anyone looked for alternative explanations?
Or is this just one more example of confirmation bias?
And - more basic still - how accurate are these measurements?

  • Just a few heretical thoughts … nothing really (ducks down behind a chair).
