If you are refering to the articles I believe you are, then the question is
more of "missing light" than lost mass.  We have gravitaional evidence for
some form of dark matter from the rotation of galaxies, but we can't see
it(i.e.
we are recieving no light from it).  There's nothing really suprising
about this:
for example, take a flash light(at night) and go to the top of a hill,
and shine the light towards
the nearest city (you don't have to go far out of town for this to
work), now have a friend in
the city try and locate you via the light signal. Wish him luck because
the city lights will interfere with his ablity to discern the signal you
are sending out.
The puzzle for physicists(at least from the reading I have done) is more
what shape this
dark matter takes.

To your complment your (A1) is an interesting philosophical statement
and can be used to
explain the conservatism of most institutions (yes, even science). 
However, I really can't see
how it can truely be applied (I will, however be the first to admit I
have a finite imagination).
