This video would make you think so. But one big thing the standard model has in its favour is that it adds up - the combination of the energy in dark energy, dark matter and ordinary matter is just what is needed to make the Universe flat. If dark energy got discarded (as this video suggests it could be), this would surely no longer be so. Hence I need more convincing.
