Well, with all due respect, the FERMI group disagrees with you, if you
believe that the "claim" has any solid *empirical* basis. See for
example: http://arxiv.org/abs/1501.05464 .

Also did you see the thread I started entitled "WIMPs AWOL Again",
wherein I offered some additional evidence published in PRL. You might
