I didn't; I wrote that I suspect that it is.
As another notes, the inability to merge quantum theory and relativity indicates that there's something we're not accounting for. Given how comprehensive both of those theories are, I suspect that the fix which accounts for all the observed evidence will be something else entirely.
Ptolemaic epicycles looked iron-clad for centuries; the successfully predicted observed reality for quite a long time, and (IIRC) even when folks started supposing that they might need tweaking, it looked like still more epicycles might save the day.
And then they were replaced with a better theory.
