As stated before, it satisfies the following conditions:

A) It fills in the holes of existing formulas/models

B) It prevents MASSIVE retooling of everything we know

Until a better model comes along to explain the area filled in by dark matter, this is the best solution we have right now. It's the physics equivalent of strcpy() but without any available replacement: It works until the edge case.

Right now the (big J) Job is finding physics' strlcpy(): Something that can be used in place of strcpy().
