Deductive reasoning < experimental science

I'm looking at you astrophysicists, claiming your assumptions are scientific discoveries..!

Take dark matter: they're so sure their facile equations are right, that when they made a surprise velocity measurement, instead of questioning their math, they assumed it meant a chunk of the universe is undetectable. Pompous stargazers..

I assume it means they fear damaging their massive egos, therefore actively avoid the theory.
