Eric brings up a good point. I think the concept is that we are looking at a polar end of the thing putting out all the energy near the 13 B year mark. What is the subtended solid angle that we see? Is it a fine line that is able to emit the light? If this is the case there must be many others oriented in a different direction that we do not see. Some may be significantly larger black holes. I also not understood the concept of the expanding space and what influences its rate. That may have a theory to explain it.

About the big bang theory -- my understanding is that it requires faster than light expansion in the earliest period. A theory that says the rules change at some point in time seems a bit ad hoc to me. About the huge black hole -- what are the chances that it looks like a black hole from our perspective, but from another angle looks like something quite different? Eric
