On the "Application of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test to CMB data: Is the universe really weakly random?", by Sigurd K. N{\ae}ss [arXiv:1105.5051]

TL;DR

This paper critiques a previous work on applying the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test to CMB data, arguing that its conclusions are irrelevant and do not contribute meaningful insights into the universe's randomness.

Contribution

It clarifies the misinterpretation in the prior paper and emphasizes the importance of proper statistical application in cosmological data analysis.

Findings

The previous application of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was flawed.

The claims about the universe's randomness are not supported by proper analysis.

The critique underscores the need for rigorous statistical methods in cosmology.

Abstract

This short note is concerned with a recent paper by N{\ae}ss [arXiv:1105.5051]. We explain why the statements in the paper are absolutely irrelevant.
