Listen, in general I agree with you, but it is a theory that was built only on observations without any theoretical foundation, and modifying the theory parameters every couple of years whenever a new observation was proving it wrong. I am sorry, but at this point MOND is on the same level with the flat earth theory and maybe it should be renamed as the conspiracy theory of gravity.

I get it, but the problem is that your response assumes knowledge that most readers don't have.

Maybe to those with that knowledge, your reaction is obvious and needn't be spelled out beyond a snarky dismissal. But to the rest of us, it's not obvious at all and the dismissal is unhelpful.

If you know more than others, that's great, but please share it in a way that the rest of us can learn from. If you don't want to do that or don't have time, that's fine, but in that case please don't post like you did in the GP. Among other undesirable side-effects, it acidifies the thread.
