I thought we've (indirectly?) observed dark matter with Webb? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLedYv1lzQ0

Did I totally misunderstand what Anton was saying?

Observed it's effect. Rather then it itself.

While this is a major breakthrough. It has not actually answered what dark matter is or how it works. Just it's effects in a more localised spacial location rather then upon the universe as a whole.
