Spitzer confirms cosmological inflation

Why is that? It's no less a constant than the rate of acceleration due to Earth's gravity (9.8 m/s^2). It isn't the speed from the POV an observer that's constant, but rather the rate of acceleration per unit of distance (or time, in the case of my example).
