But the press always seem to think dark matter is something thought up to fix something, but that’s not the case at all.

The numbers in the data don’t match up and the difference is what’s labeled as “Dark matter”,

Is defining something as the difference between a prediction and measurement not exactly the same as thinking something up to fix the discrepancy?
