Default Cosmic Defect Discovered, Remnant From Big Bang?

The title of the thread should read Possible Cosmic Defect Discovered,....
but I don't know how to change the title. Sorry for the bait and switch.

Scientists from the Institute of Physics of Cantabria (IFCA) and the University of Cambridge may have discovered an example of a cosmic defect, a remnant from the Big Bang called a texture. If confirmed, their discovery, reported today in Science, will provide dramatic new insight into how the universe evolved following the Big Bang.

There are a number of follow-up tests which can be made with future data. It's a very testable hypothesis and we will know the answer within the next decade.
