I've always felt this way about dark matter, but as a lay person with no background in physics, it's an opinion I'm hesitant to express.
if you have a model that predicts something, but the prediction is off by several orders of magnitude, the model is wrong. no other field would invent invisible stuff to explain that the model is still right. (well, maybe finance)
