But getting down to the scale of a snowball cooling without anything *bigger* being affected is difficult. Hard to say it's impossible, but seems very tricky. So in the case that dark matter is a bunch of macro-scale objects, you'd expect to see deviations in larger gravitationally-bound structures.

Unless of course, dark matter just got magically poofed into existence in the form of macroscopic clumps very early on.
