But we won't know that with any degree of certainty unless we go looking for it.

On the contrary, some cosmologists came up with a hypothesis and a lot of others found it has merit so they are designing and carrying out experiments to test it. Seems like standard scientific method to me.

This has happened before, remember? Some outlandish theories predicting the existence of even more outlandish things, that were later actually discovered in practice. Just because it's groundbreaking doesn't mean it's wrong.
If you don't agree with the hypothesis you can dispute it will real arguments or design experiments of your own to disprove it. Casting doubt over the integrity or sanity of the majority of cosmologists and firing sarcastic shots from the sideline isn't the way to go about it.
