From what I've read, once the mistaken trust is reluctantly accepted, the adoration for the con turns to hatred.

I just was checking via google-- who still uses LaTex?

When I was still actively in the game, so to speak, most graduate students at least in engineering and science did. I worked with a lot of AFIT (Air Force Institute of Technology) graduates  when an aerospace sort. They too all seemed quite versed in LaTex. 

But I'm old history, and was surprised to read and see from your example that science/engineering types still use it.

I wonder this, being less trained than an astrophysicist.

Both of these things, black holes and dark matter, are related to gravitational fields, which we also don't exactly understand. From what I read, dark matter and black holes are viewed as two independent things that create strong gravitational fields.

Maybe they are two things that are related, tied together in some way. Like the singularity is actually creating the region of distortion we view as dark matter.
