Here's a simple opinion expressed in a heretical way:
Anything we know about Physics that includes a Fudge Factor (yes, I'm pointing your way Plancke!) is ipso facto bullshit.
If it has a fufac('), it really means we're missing something and we're expressing our ignorance in numeric form. That's it. If we can't accurately describe something in terms that can predict reality, then like dark energy, it's worse than useless... it's wasting our time when we could be moving on to new ideas.
Let's look at "dark matter". Instead of that phrase meaning simply 'matter we can't see', it's been morphed into an entity that seems like The Monster Under The Bed. You can't see it, you can't detect it, but it must be there because it'll leave a gaping hole in reality if it goes missing. Or so the gospel Math proclaims.
Honestly, every time one of these theorems appears I spend otherwise useful time wondering where the hell they came up with such nonsense.
