Joe,
Everything you wrote above may look plausible on the first glance..... Yes, not many theoreticians are involved in this because the subject is extremely complicated and to deal with it requires mathematical tools that many people simply do not have..
BUT the mere fact that people are re-checking inflation theory is a proof that we are not dealing with faith here - instead what you see is the scientific process in action.
Faith would have been if inflation is accepted by all.. this is clearly not the case, even the theory creators are still working on it's details and re-checking the thought process that gave rise to the theory.

I am firmly standing by my earlier words "we have knowledge, not faith".
Not ALL knowledge yet of course, but we are trying to get there..
(by the term "we" I don't mean or include myself personally - this would have been stupid - I meant "we" as a humans, as a society.. and that knowledge is available to all of us.
Of course, necessary training is required to make any use of it...
