Comment on Milky Way is embedded in a 'large-scale sheet' of dark matter, which explains motions of nearby galaxies

Headline suggests that this is an observed fact, rather than the result of a simulation based on a model created by several EU scientists.

Furthermore the article asserts that “The observed motions … can only be properly explained with this “flat” mass distribution.” That premature assertion, based on this paper

www.nature.com/articles/s41550-025-02770-w

will have to stand up in the court of opinion of scientific peers. I hope to see Sabine go after that headline.
