Although I don't understand the horizon problem. As you look further away, you're looking back in time. If you look at the very edge, it'd have to be uniform, because it's all the exact same place/time. The universe was very small then and has been expanding. The beginning of the universe should be consistent - it'd be a problem if it varied, because then you'd have different things happening at the same place/time.
If astronomers really see this as a problem, then maybe it is. But it's not well enough explained in that little section.
