  A distribution of points that satisfies the property of local isotropy is not
necessarily homogeneous: homogeneity is implied by the condition of local
isotropy together with the assumption of analyticity or regularity. Here we
show that the evidence of dipole saturation in galaxies (and clusters)
catalogues, together with a monotone growth of the monopole, is an evidence of
isotropy but not of homogeneity. This is fully compatible with a fractal
structure which has the property of local isotropy, but it is non-analytic and
non-homogeneous.
