It seems that new WMAP data requires a fit with a primordial spectrum containig small negative tilt index in addition to the featureless Harrison-Zeldovich- Peebles spectrum thus implying a broken scale invariance. We show that the data could be otherwise interpreted by a scale invariant primordial spectrum with the scale non-invariant evolution of density contrast using the Press-Schechter formalism. The estimate of the acceleration parameter, as a source of the inhomogeneity of spacetime, is made by searching for the minima of the deviation measure defined by the Press-Schechter mass functions for this interpretation compared to the assumptions implicit in the WMAP fit.
