why do scientists claim 1 is more likely?

because our theories on gravity do work on larger scales?
Well:

Read Hossenfelder's blog, she goes into detail on this without being too biased. Put simply it could still go either way.

Get the fuck out you fucking brainlet.
I'll admit I don't know too much about relativity, but what's wrong with the blog?
She's middle of the road on fucking everything. And this is a perfect example, CDM is incredibly predictive for such a simple hypothesis, no other model/hypothesis/theory comes close to it. Yet despite its success she still (according to you) says it could go either way. No, I'm sorry but current evidence points in favour of CDM.

Obviously ya'all clapped too hard.
This always really bothered me about dark matter, but I always sort of assumed that greater minds than mine had better reasons than simple balancing their equations with their observations. to claim that a wholly intangible thing exists in great quantities throughout the universe.
