> There are many ideas about what dark matter is or could be, but astrophysicists model the early universe using only baryonic matter, the results _are wrong_.

That doesn’t make any particular theory correct. It is only proof that our current model is wrong.

Filling the gaps with math, and calling the math “dark matter” does not make dark matter correct; one or more of our existing models is wrong.

The name dark matter is not a specific thing, rather, it's a collection of hypotheses whose characteristics are bounded by results in high energy experiments and astronomical observation.
