: Gases ARE dark matter if they aren't luminous.

Plus, it seems likely Waffle is confusing "gas" (the stuff that's been
heated and deflected by the impact, is emitting light, and colorcoded
pink) with the topic of the page (the stuff that hasn't been heated,
hasn't been deflected, isn't emitting light, and colorcoded blue).

But whether it's gas, or something else, whatever you call it, it is

1) dark (because it isn't emitting light), and
2) matter (because it has mass, distorting the light
of objects behind it)

You don't want to call this "evidence for dark matter", shrug.
You can lead folks to knowledge, but you cannot make them think.

When the old lady died she left them rich
A mansion, cars, life's a kick!
