She calls this a “common and understandable mistake”. Instead of being wrong the conclusion should be seen as a reductio ad absurdum demonstration of the incompatibility of quantum mechanics and general relativity. Without a quantum theory of gravity the entire field of black hole physics is based on discretion rather than logic. Harry
