Yep, pretty much. They all have a flat rotation curve (which makes no sense unless gravity works differently or there is unseen mass), and that rotation correlates to the visible matter in the galaxy (the Tully Fischer relation).

Wouldn't we expect some galaxies to have more dark matter than others? Although, I guess if anything is big enough to converge to an average, a galaxy is.
