Fair - that sounds hyperbolic. But my point is specific: if the weak mixing angle is shifted from the Standard Model value, one of the standard explanations is a heavier cousin of the Z boson mixing in.
Many of those models naturally include a dark matter candidate. I didn't mean to imply 'we found dark matter' — it's that the theories which could explain the discrepancy often come with one attached.
