I’m sorry, I can see where I was ambiguous.

I meant I can see why dark matter is appealing to more researchers in general and why MOND is in the minority.

If dark matter is right, we can find it.

If MOND is right, we’ve just been doing incomplete math this whole time.

One of those is way more exciting.

The last person who figured out we were doing incomplete math is the single most famous scientist in the history of the world. Being the next one isn't more exciting than getting some particle named after yourself?

Yeah I interpreted that person’s post as saying “we’ve been doing incomplete math this whole time” is way more exciting, which I completely agree with.

The real issue is that you need a lot of money to test DM for real, but not so much to test MOND.
