Abstract
The recently released BOOMERanG data show a secondary peak ``contradicting topological defect predictions''. We show that not only is such a statement misleading, but also that the relatively low amplitude of the observed secondary peak might well be an evidence in favor of decoherence, a feature known to characterize topological defect scenarios. The picture that naturally emerges would therefore be of the hybrid kind, yielding the prediction that the third peak should have also a low amplitude.
