What effect of Dark Matter can there be that cannot also be explained by
a discrete spectrum of acceleration?
As I understand things, Dark Matter only interacts gravitationally, and
by the equivalence principle gravitation is equivalent to acceleration.
So if gravity is quantized, then acceleration is quantized. And only
gravity effects can be only acceleration effects. So there would be
absolutely no way of distinguishing any Dark Matter effects from
quantized acceleration effects. Does this make sense?

Some forms of dark matter have been hypothesized to interact weakly
also. Look up WIMPS. In addition, the equivalence principle relates
gravitational acceleration to geodesic acceleration, which is not
vector acceleration. So quantization of gravity may not necessarily
imply quantization of acceleration in general.
