How could there be a 1:2 ratio if the galactic disk is not even rotating
as a unit?  Hell, you just mentioned rotational assymetry and galactic
rotational curves which means you must know the disk doesn't rotate as a
unit, if you bring them up.  Unless you are just throwing out science-y
sounding phrases such as "galactic rotational curves" out as a form of
word salad without even understanding their meanings.  Oh, wait...
