Until we can more objectively quantify Dark Matter most any theory involving it is going to mostly be conjecture.
We are, to the best of of my knowledge, not even able to accurately measure it at the moment. Most of science we can directly observe. We can record temperatures for Climate Change (yes, yes, I know it isn't real and if it is real its isn't our fault, and if it is our fault it is actually the fault of the News Media). We can observe evolution through the fossil record and from ongoing evolution among species.
With Dark Matter the best and brightest people on the planet are basically throwing their hands in the air and saying "hell if I know". Still, science marches on. It took us a while to disprove the Heliocentric theory. It will probably take us a while to fully understand this.

You mean "disprove the geocentric theory" and instead embrace the heliocentric orbit. Or maybe I am just confused about what you are saying. I can be an airhead sometimes.

What we can measure is its gravitational effect. We can also observe that directly. Gravitational lensing and the movement of stars in galaxies proves the existence of dark matter.
Its existence is beyond debate. Its substance remains unknown. As with gravity, we are very familiar with its effects while still knowing nothing about what causes it.
