No, that's not what the paper says.

Of course not.
You *never* say "This nonsense doesn't exist" in a scientific paper.
You say
"New lower limit established for the existence of FOO"
I cite from the paper:

In conclusion, the observations point to a lack of Galactic DM at the
solar position, contrary to the expectations of all the current models
of Galactic mass distribution.

represents ~5 percent of the milky way disc
with galactic diameter 120,000 light year
(probably much more with dark matter halo)
26,000^2/120,000^2 = .047
Any spherical assumption
would make the observed milky way fraction approach 1 percent
26,000^3/120,000^3 = .010
Dark matter may be clumpy.
Observations indicate we are not in a clump.
