I don't have time right now, but I'll try to get back to you on this in the next day or 2. For the moment let me just say that Milgrom made predictions about LSB galaxies and MOND before data was available actually test those predictions. When the data became available MOND's predictions were confirmed.
McGaugh has become a big player in the MOND discussion. If you read his MOND pages he describes (at least if I'm remembering correctly that is where he shares this) how he was wrestling with inconsistencies between his data for galaxies and the predictions of CDM. Then he saw Milgrom speak and the problems he was wrestling with were being explained by Milgrom in the context of MOND.
