There are many arguments against this hypothesis, the main ones being
big-bang nucleosynthesis and CMB observations, which both agree that
most of the "missing matter" (i.e. "dark matter" as the term is normally
used) cannot be baryonic.


With what certainty should the 'cannot be' assertion be made. In
science, such absolute assertions are very rare. Current big-bang
nucleosynthesis calculations and CMB observation dark matter
correlations should not exclude a complementary dark matter contribution
by some other mechanism.
