What are your thoughts on Dark Flow?

With the recent scientific observation confirming a Dark Flow in the direction towards Centaurus and Hydra, how do scientists reconcile this with the Big Bang Theory which predicted this should not be observed? What is the force driving this Flow?

    The jury is still out, I suppose. The latest article I've seen on it: http://arxiv.org/abs/0910.4233 claims "We do not find a statistically significant detection of a bulk flow. Instead we find that CMB correlations between the 8 WMAP channels used in this analysis decrease the inferred significance of the detection to 0.7\sigma."

    In other words... much ado about nothing.

    For the moment.
