If you have to repeatedly modify "predictive" theory to match observation, then it was not predictive in first place. The situation with MOND appears much worse than for example Planck's theory for blackbody radiation. He revised it once and that was it.

Generally I don't get this splitting hairs. Things that we can only observe but can't reproduce in lab are not a science then?
