Fascinating! I dug into the Wikipedia article, which cites a Scholarpedia article; the LLM answer seems to originate from a reference to this sentence [1]:

> So, MOND reduces the discrepancy in clusters at these radii to only a factor of ∼2−3 (Sanders, 1999; Ettori, et al., 2019)

So I think you're right, and today I learned something! I also checked if Stacy McGaugh had weighed in on this particular subject, and it seemed like there is still an issue for clusters [2], although interestingly the issue isn't mentioned in his latest blog post that summarizes the strengths/weaknesses with MOND [3]. Anyway, thanks for humoring me for a bit.
