I took a quick look at the linked article. It sounded like these Italians' method for determining the dark matter content of the ellipticals was rather new and novel. And the percentage error was not particularly comforting?

Before we all go back and take a closer look at the CDM models, don't you think we should first take a closer look at this new method and get at least one additional observation, preferably from an independent source and method, that agrees with the findings in this article?
