Originally, banjos post read like the line about Vera Rubin was outright incorrect, rather than simply being a case of the OP in the image making a poor summary of her contributions.

It sounded like Banjo was challenging Vera's relevance in the list, rather than clarifying what she actually did

    I would not make praising her the opening statement of my comment if I were challenging her contributions.

    Broadly, what you said was "Power to her, but what’s proven is that our current mathematical models do not accurately represent the universe". The "but" in that statement is that issue, as it sounds like you're challenging her findings with a correction, but your correction was just to summarise her actual findings

    Her achievment is proving the current mathematical models do not represent the universe and explaining why, where many men before her utterly failed.

    Her achievment is not proving the existence of dark matter.

    The "but" is very warranted and I honestly feel like the "dark matter is real" zealots are the ones besmirching her name by misrepresenting her accomplishments.
