Thats the exact point the comment is making. The moNd theory you’re looking for here is GR. We don’t think of it as a modified theory anymore though.
Even if the comment was clear, it still isn't a very good comparison: GR has relatively easy to verify things like the motion of Mercury, and the factor of 2 when light is bent by the Sun. MOND, not so much.
BTW I took a graduate class from one of the people who named WIMPs. It took considerable effort to overcome the objection of ApJ's editor to the cute name. Fun times.
