Universe’s First Object? Yah, sure, whatever!

I think there was a press release in 2005 about this infrared subtraction, I didn’t buy it then and I am not buying it now. Essentially you look at the infrared from a sliver of a sky, then subtract out all the infrared given by the objects that you know and whatever is left must be really really old stars.
The excercise is like taking a recording of all the sounds in a stadium, subtracting out the noise from every person and whatever is left, one ascribes it to the little goblins in the stadium.
Microwave background, check; Hubble Deep field, check but inbetween the two, the so called Dark Ages, are still kind of dark for me.
