I'm saying there's a scientific model called MOND and also, separately, a literal Dawkinsian meme[0] which features the acceptance of that model based in part on motivated reasoning, not science. I'm not dismissing the hypothesis. It might be right, it might be wrong. It's worth exploring either way. I totally agree that even proving something wrong improves our understanding. I'm criticizing MOND-the-meme, I guess, but also admiring. I don't like it, but it's very good in its niche. Like a shark. Stay over there please... but wow.
