So, even if MOND is wrong, there may need to be some reason why it *acts*
like it's right! Apparently even some proponents of dark matter agree
with this.
Try this:
M. Kaplinghat and M. S. Turner, "How Cold Dark Matter Theory Explains
Milgrom's Law," astro-ph/0107284, Astrophys.J. 569 (2002) L19. Note
that this analysis also explains why the ``critical acceleration''
in MOND does *not* apply at cluster scales. There is some debate over
these results, but the paper is certainly worth reading.
