Not as preferred reference frame, necessarily. After all, to use the CMB to construct such a frame, we create a frame in which the CMB is homogenous--but that is not entirely possible. |
Well, the "preferred" frame would be one where the dipole anisotropy in the CMB is zeroed; the other variations in the CMB wouldn't be relevant. |
Except to indicate that variation does occur.
