« Stunning evidence » … then later on: « Instead, the readings _seem_ to support a basis for MOND, which _would_ force astronomers and cosmologists to reconsider this alternative and long-controversial theory of gravity. » What’s conditional evidence? I may be missing the overall picture, but I view such writing as non precise at its best.

It's just typical pop sci journalism, with a click baity headline. Read the paper instead.

Not entirely typical. MOND proponents seem to be trying more and more sell their approach to the public.

It annoys me but I suppose every theory has to do that now, "the mouse trap must go to market now" and all.

Well you have to convince somebody to pay researchers for their time, which ultimately means selling your idea to non-experts.
