Stupid question: If instead of dark matter they referred to it as dark gravity (because that’s what they’re referring to) would we be as critical of them?

Easier to be critical of them if we simply accept that modified newtonian gravity solves the problem, and leaves it up to physicists to explain why it’s so.

IMO there are a lot of ‘naming’ problems in math, physics, and behavioral science that if corrected make the subjects less nonsense-sounding.

For all intents and purposes math and physics and somewhat in epistemology and certainly in behavioral sciences, there is a tendency to preserve nonsense names (non descriptive, non-operational) for concepts that essentially reduce them to cult dogmas.
