Well I'm glad that you acknowledge that it sucks.

I see the people who can't accept that it is plausible as being the mirror image of people who object to calling it a fudge factor that makes our numbers work out.

It really isn't currently an explanation. It is a statement about what the explanation will look like. But the actual explanation at this point requires new physics.

Then do you at least see, now, why that other guy got downvoted?

I see why some people would downvote him.

However my expectations of HN are that, total, he shouldn't be downvoted for that comment. And indeed, he currently isn't.

I'm glad his downvoting was temporary.
