The same amount of dark matter, with the same basic properties, can explain galaxy rotation curves, galaxy cluster dynamics, large scale structure, the CMB anisotropies, and the primordial abundances of chemical elements.
"Something is wrong with the measurements" has none of that predictive power, and even more quantitative ways of stating that (e.g. modified Newtonian dynamics) cannot explain the data as well as dark matter does.
