It is argued that the failure of particle dark matter experiments to verify its existence may be attributable to a non-Planckian �action,� which renders dark matter�s behavior contradictory to the consequences of quantum mechanics as it applies to luminous matter. It is pointed out that such a possibility cannot be convincingly dismissed in the absence of a physical law that prohibits an elementary �action� smaller than Planck�s. It is further noted that no purely dark matter measurement of Planck�s constant exists. Finally, the possibility of a non-Planckian cold dark matter particle is explored, and found to be consistent with recent astronomical observations.
