:::::I won't deny that I've had [[Talk:Elementary proof|my share of arguments]] [[Talk:Essay:Quantifying Openmindedness|with Mr. Schlafly]] about math and science articles. That doesn't mean that it's impossible to continue to edit here, or that the edits can't be useful to their many readers. I have successfully worked together with him on several other articles. I encourage you to do the same. --[[User:MarkGall|MarkGall]] 14:14, 12 November 2009 (EST)

::::::If Aschlafly wants the students who read this site to be told that black hole theory is not universally agreed upon, that's fine with me. If he wants them to be told that some people doubt whether black holes can exist in nature, that's okay with me too, because it's ''true.'' But he should be able to tell students those things without ''lying'' to them.
::::::The black-hole solutions to the Einstein field equations make clear predictions about the characteristics of such a region of spacetime, and thus are ''entirely'' falsifiable. In fact, much work has been done by astronomers and theoreticians alike to find any evidence, observational or mathematical, that casts doubt on those predictions. So far, all the math and all the observations are consistent with the predictions of the four known point-mass solutions. The fact that a set of predictions is thus far ''not falsified'' is not the same as saying that those predictions are ''unfalsifiable.'' I just don't see the point in lying about that.--[[User:KSorenson|KSorenson]] 15:13, 12 November 2009 (EST)
