If axions exist, they can violate conservation of charge. Around black holes.
Start with that black holes bear charge - besides mass, that's all they got. (That and spin, but pff.) Most charged matter, like free electrons or hydrogen ions, add their charge to a black hole's. Charge is conserved, in this universe. Apparently axions wouldn't conserve charge. If they're charged (somehow) their charge just gets deleted down there. Unsure why they are calling it an "axion bomb" rather than an axion dump.
I am inclined to call this argument as going against axions existing in the first place, but - maybe we can ascertain where charge-dump events should be happening around all the distant galaxies, and aren't.
