It's painfully obvious in 2020 that the LCDM cosmology model is a complete and utter failure when it comes to "predictive value". It has no predictive value whatsoever. All the key aspects of the LCDM model are not even 'predictions" to begin with, they are postdicted (usually metaphysical) elements which were added to the expansion model in a lame attempt to save the model from otherwise being falsified by observation.
For instance, the entire dark energy concept was an ad hoc "postdicted" component that was intended to deal with yet another *failed prediction* of the original expansion interpretation of redshift. Rather than 'slowing down' as was the original "prediction' of the expansion model, the SN!A data sets were "interpreted" as showing a pattern of acceleration (at least at that time). Newer, and more extensive SN1A datasets however demonstrate that original assumption from limited SN1A data was probably a misinterpretation of a limited data set, yet the LCDM model is now composed of almost 70 percent of a otherwise *useless* substance which serves exactly one purpose, specifically to "fix" what was considered (at the time) to be a broken expansion oriented cosmology model.
The other key assumption of a "bang" (expansion) model is the assumption that galaxies formed over time and became more "mature" and larger as the universe "aged" from a specific point in time.
That particular assumption has been falsified so many times over the past two decades that it's not even funny. The finding in the OP is another great example of yet another epic failure as it relates to the assumption of galaxy evolution over time. We keep finding *massive* and *mature* galaxies and massive quasars as far as our technology can measure, and we find no sign of any type of galaxy evolution. Quite the opposite in fact. At the limits of our technology we find galaxies that are many times the size of our own galaxy, and they are "mature" beyond any logical explanation in an expansion model.
Anyone being "intellectually honest" about these various problems would have to admit that the expansion interpretation of redshift has *zero* actual "predictive' value, and in fact it's actual predictions are completely at odds with the most recent data.
Nowhere else in science would this kind of epic failure be ignored and swept under the rug. Only in astronomy do we see this kind of blatant confirmation bias taking place. There is simply no way to actually "falsify" the expansion interpretation of redshift because all the data directly refutes it to begin with, and it's being modified on the fly when it's predictions bite the dust, and modified by adding more metaphysical constructs no less. Make no mistake about it: LCDM is a *bad religion* that is propped up by pure denial of the data, and sheltered from any public criticism by a small but vocal set of astronomers that simply ban anyone and everyone who even dares to question their metaphysical dogma, or dares to mention any alternatives.
Big bang theory is a scientific joke that cannot and does not hold up to any serious scientific scrutiny. It's headed for the trash bin of history as surely as Ptolemy. Astronomers have a long and proven track record of ignoring the more logical alternatives to their bizarre dogma. It's just a matter of time before the big bang model joins Ptolemy in the dust bin of history, and that time is now upon us. As soon as the JWST starts returning deep field images, the jig is up, and the evolutionary predictions of the LCMD model will finally bite the dust.
We already see a pattern in the data that is undeniable, and overwhelming. Nowhere do we see any real evidence of galaxy evolution, or any evidence of dark matter or dark energy. All we observe are epic and obvious failures of the LCDM model, over and over and over again.
