Do any references suggest this dipole is under debate?

And researcher Saadeh's following interview LINK
Which supports the idea that, based on observed CMB data compared to mathematical models, the universe behaves the same in every direction, an anisotropic model with no preferred motion direction.
Ok, I guess the idea that the CMB suggests movement relative to a quasi-absolute reference frame really has become disputed lately... I also found this newer paper by the same authors. It's a pity, I liked the idea.
Same, it gave credence to the concept of a potential center of the big bang being something we could find and observe, which is just really cool to think about.
