(the important thing to remember is that the B-mode polarisation is a signature of inflation in the early Universe. Are we really seeing gravitational waves?)
My goodness you suffer a lack of basic comprehension skills.

In fact the investigation of B-mode polarization in the CMB due to inflation is one of the more embarrassing cases for mainstream science.
It's "discovery" was announced by the BICEP2 team last year and was hailed as one of the greatest recent scientific discoveries rivalling the Higgs boson.
Unfortunately the researchers underestimated the amount of magnetized dust in our own galaxy that produces a similar photon polarization.
The mistake was realised after the Planck probe revealed its data.
What is absolutely laughable this was a response to one of your own posts.

Evidently the answer went way over your head because you failed to see the association of gravitational waves with inflation, or you simply refuse to accept anything that deviates from your narrow minded view of events.
