If the universe was created by a smooth process, then neighboring locations are not statistically independent. The presence of matter in one location would suppress the creation of matter in nearby locations. The existence of even one exception to smoothness in the entire universe tells us something about the origins. Another kind of fluke is possible, though. IIRC quasars are beamed. It could be that the quasar cluster contains no more active galaxies than normal and they are simply all shining in our direction by chance.
