I don't know why you put so much stress on it, I was not in any way arguing or diminishing inconsistencies, I realize how they are very important.
I was arguing dark matter and dark energy are confusing and ultimately manipulative terms. Claiming inconsistency exists is one thing, claiming dark matter* exists is another. It would be like naming it "dark overlords" and claiming dark overlords now exist, without repeating all the time that there are no actual overlords, it's just a label.

You wrote a big ol' screed baselessly attacking the article and the subject matter. Maybe don't do that?

Yes but everyone knows it's just a label, if they're too ignorant to realise then that's their bad, and tbh, it has literally zero bearing on everyone's day to day existence....for now anyway.
