In a full-sky cubic bispectrum estimator, pairwise Gaussian covariance within one triple gives a sum of Gaunt integrals with opposite m indices. The spherical harmonic addition theorem turns their pair into the constant (2ℓ+1)/(4π); its integral against YLM​ vanishes for L>0. A zero temperature monopole removes L=0. Thus only the six pairings connecting the two triples survive in the Gaussian variance; isotropic weights are essential for the cancellation.
