I didn't respond to your question about dark matter because it had no relevance to the question at hand. That you're trying to sell it as though it does speaks volumes about your honesty. Thankfully, everything here is a matter of record so we can all evaluate it.
The fact that you can't see the relevance speaks volumes.
your question:
"do we accept the truth of the claim purely on the credentials of the claimant?"
the answer is yes when it comes down to matters of science and an expert in that particular scientific field.
so the relevance was that you having never observed dark matter, accept it's existence based upon the "credentials of the claimants"
