Popis: From a study of the lineshape of the $X(3872)$, the LHCb collaboration measures a sizeable negative effective range. This cannot be reconciled with a shallow $D\bar{D}^*$ bound state hypothesis. Based on Weinberg's compositeness criterion, together with a theorem by Smorodinsky, it follows that the $X$ has to have a compact hidden charm structure, most likely a tetraquark, interacting with unbound $D\bar{D}^*$ pairs via short-distance color forces. This conclusion is strengthened by the general pattern recently emerging for exotic mesons.
Comment: 6 pages. Updated version including the evaluation of the error on the effective range. Discussion and conclusions unchanged. To appear as a Letter in Physical Review D
