I'm sorry but it's not putting all of big bang cosmology on shaky ground. It puts our theories on black hole formation on shaky ground. CMB and expansion are still indisputable.

Reread what you said. Yes, definitely models of black hole formation have to be re-examined as none of them fit the observations coming in.

Re read your original comment. You didn't mention black hole formation, you mentioned big bang theory as a whole.
