Yeah, I know, I was just being snarky for the sake of snarkiness. That, and you brought up a science subject I actually know a little something about!
I'm a bit skeptical of dark matter because it sounds suspiciously like a fudge factor for something scientists can't explain. They couldn't figure out why the rotations of galaxies aren't matching up with expected predictions, so they posit the existence an invisible substance that must be behind the problem. And this substance doesn't give off any radiation, doesn't reflect any light, it's just there and we have to take the scientists word that this stuff exists. Why shouldn't I be a bit skeptical?
What little I know about MOND I've read about in Discover magazine a few years ago, and they had a more recent article about TeVeS that provides more support for MOND. Time will tell!
