I made the comment that finding a neutrino was not easy..check this but one example of the difficulty in measuring ..er even finding something the standard model includes in the game...

Now that is one of many stories on the difficulties dealing with finding and measuring a neutrino...one candidate for dark matter. And what about the HB I dont think it at this point fits reality one ... and notwithstanding all the good reasons why it is there the reality (1) is that it is not yet a reality.
So why be so harsh on a mug like me with no budget  I cant produce a PP or take the premise past speculation. but the reality as always comes down to available funding...so I conclude cash is the only reality worth considering..... but give me $250,000,000 and I will search for the rest of my days for whatever you like....

Apologies if I seemed that I was being harsh. I actually thought my post, which you quote, contained some pretty cool distinctions, (even if it was prompted by my frustration about disrupting what could've been a really interesting discussion on GR). I don't think I'd ever elucidated those thoughts in writing before. (Not bad for a hamster, huh - Witten's Hamster, that is).
With the benefit of further posts on your topic, I now 'get' where you're coming from. But to me, it seems like a difference in semantics. (As Steven pointed out). Your questions it seems, & as I think you have pointed out, will seemingly all come out in the wash anyway, courtesy of experiments & research, presently being funded as a result of Lamba-CDM thinking.
I'm still left puzzled by why graphene electrons speed up as it cools down, though ... fascinating !!
Cheers
