It's not a stretch at all in my opinion, not only was I taught this myself (multiple times at two separate universities in the US) but there was a paper addressing this myth as far back as the 60s.
Though I do agree with your second point. I can name two crises off the top of my head: the black hole information paradox, and the galaxy rotation curves which some claim are due to dark matter. One is a major theoretical problem, and the other is a major experimental problem. And though crises they may be, it's not like people are running around with their hair on fire.

- nullc 3y agoIt's not really a conflict in rates that is the issue, so much as a conflict about the jerk of cosmic inflation? :P
