Yes it will fit perfectly, but that doesn't mean it's a good model. This is just sophisticated curve fitting to generate papers and not good science. That's exactly what's happening with cold dark matter models. I agree the state of things is unsatisfactory for either theory, we need bolder ideas. Superfluid dark matter was promising but doesn't currently match some observations. We need more of that.
