The recombination redshift z_rec ≈ 1100 and the baryon drag epoch z_drag ≈ 1000 define the epoch over which the photon-baryon sound speed and expansion rate determine the final sound horizon to 0.2% precision.
The angular acoustic scale θ* is measured by Planck to 0.03% precision (100θ* = 1.0411 ± 0.0003), making it among the most precisely constrained cosmological parameters.
Planck constrains the reionization optical depth to τ = 0.059 ± 0.006 (68% C.L.), which affects the CMB damping tail amplitude and introduces a small degeneracy with changes in the sound horizon scale.
Planck 2018 measures the comoving sound horizon rs at the baryon drag epoch to rs = 147.09 ± 0.26 Mpc within the standard ΛCDM model.

vev_4413f2d5b07ca8a4finding.caveatedVerifier caution: Finding attributes τ = 0.059 ± 0.006 to 'Planck 2018 results VI' but official Planck 2018 legacy release gives τ = 0.054 ± 0.007.

vev_770d6c2802c4a6a1finding.caveatedVerifier caution: Planck 2018 (1807.06209) gives z_rec ≈ 1090, z_drag ≈ 1060, not the round values 1100 and 1000. More critically, the claim of '0.2% precision' on sound horizon is unsupported—Planck 2018 reports 0.03% precision on angular acoustic scale θ_*, which does not directly translate to 0
