But the circles-in-the-sky people have already rebutted this claim, saying they're really sure the circles that the dodecahedron would leave are simply not there.
Where can I read about this rebuttal? When I talked to him in May, Jeff had a number of excuses why the circles might not have been found: essentially, the universe might be too noisy to find the circles as precisely as they were looking for. I don't know how to judge this, myself. The current evidence is all based on the absolute values of the various spherical harmonics; would there be any predictions about the actual vectors as well if the universe is actually a Poincare dodechedral space?
