You belabor questions in a way that illustrates your need for something similar to a proof. Science does not prove its conclusions. Oh sure, there are logical derivations or proofs in formulation of theories, but what is tentatively true relies on consistency with observations. Inflation is to homogeneity what stretching dough is to making a stroudel or pizza crust. Stretch it out and it is pretty uniform. The mathematics in the theory makies this work in a way one can make calculations. You have asked this same question repeatedly, as with some other questions, the answers are generally the same and you make the same complaints.
