But of course, the papers in question I referred to, don't cover inflation, they cover instead the moment of instantiation of the observable universe, and what observational data the requisite processes will leave in their wake. Inflation is a different topic - its remit is how we got to the current observable state, given a hypothesised past state, after the instantiation of the observable universe.
