I doubt, though, it would be intelligible to a layperson not familiar with implicitly mentioned research papers. https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/blog/2012/05/09/dark-matter-vs-modified-gravity-a-trialogue/ Quite a bit has changed since then, I but think the flavor of discussion today would still be similar.
