I agree with you on the overall point, but this statement.
> Not possible.
In all honesty, Cosmology rests on the principal that physics is the same in all directions, over all translations, and over time translation. While this is a good assumption (good luck testing alternatives!!). There are a variety of papers exploring the topic of how much these assumptions would need to be violated to mirror observations.
A good example being
what if the electron was more massive in the past?
All Redshift would then be explained away ;)
P.S.
There are very good reasons to believe that the electron was not more massive in the past.

That the laws of physics are the same. That doesn't mean the geometry of spacetime is the same or that the configuration of matter and energy is the same.

What papers? Do you have any references?
