A central problem of contemporary physics is whether the law of gravity is
non-Newtonian on galaxy scales. Rodrigues et al. argue that Milgromian
gravitation, which solves the flat rotation curve problem without the need for
dark matter particles, is ruled out at > 10{sigma} significance. To a large
extent, this conclusion relies on galaxies with very uncertain distances and/or
nearly edge-on orientations, where dust obscuration often becomes significant.
Applying appropriate quality cuts to the data leaves only a handful of outliers
to the predictions of Milgromian gravitation according to the analysis of
Rodrigues et al., but even these outliers can be explained with Milgromian
gravitation.
