Yes, I should say that I'm not necessarily advocating for it, just giving a hint as to where to look the ideas up.

Personally I'm just fine with either. Particle physics makes it pretty clear IMHO that the idea of a weakly interacting massive particle is perfectly reasonable, because the particle zoo that we have is already rich far beyond "normal matter" and adding a few more isn't conceptually too difficult. (It'll break our theories, of course, but we kinda already know there must be something wrong with them, so that's not a huge shocker.) And the idea that physical laws may not be exactly perfectly the math we thought they were is also not that shocking to me, for all kinds of reasons, again not least of which is that we know something is wrong with our current theories.
