I was actually referring to the occurrence of the factor 1/8 in your
MOND argument, following your simplifying assumption that "the galaxy
lies in a plane with the earth".


Wouldn't most galaxy rotation curves be corrected, as far as possible,
to be equivalent to this? Alternatively galaxies that are pretty clearly
'edge-on' would be used for measurement.

Otherwise the angle would significantly alter the results.
