In 1940, Britain had retreated back to their island fortress after being throttled in mainland Europe by invading Nazis. They would hide behind the sea and hope that their navy and air force could stop the possible German invasion of their island.
As the Battle of Britain raged on, the German and British air forces went head to head. Something strange happened, the Germans pulled of[sic] a series of highly effective night bombing raids. It's strange because night bombing was incredibly ineffective for the most part.
[...] This German bombing was much more effective than what the British could do at night. As a matter of fact, it was more accurate than what typical bombing could do in the day time.

Have we observed ANYTHING for thousands of years? TRULY measured, calculated, observed? No.
That is what models are for.
"Hence, it is precisely where wishful thinking and error in measure most strongly can manifest."
YES! Dark matter is an error of wishful thinking: SAVE GR at ALL costs... except it is wrong and wide binaries prove it.

Unfortunately, that doesn't rule out models like dark matter because you are supposing the would-be evidence against such based on a model that may be wrong.
