If there is such a blatant bias then it can be detected by sampling a few million random tetrahedra; and that can be done instantaneously. Also, why don&#x27;t they publish the list of positions of all these galaxies? (Or I couldn&#x27;t find it easily on either of the original articles [0,1]). If there&#x27;s just a million of them, this is around the same size as a single high-resolution color image. Then people can download the positions and find the asymmetries themselves!
