This can't be true because my QM + GR = no BH thread STARTED with a peer-reviewed, published paper.
Actually quite true as you damn well know.
Firstly the article was about a possible theoretical quantum effect. If real, it just pertains to the nature of the EH.
Contrary to what the sensationalist headlines said, it does not mean BH's do not exist.
But you being an avid anti BH person, grabbed it with both hands, and manufactured your own Interpretation on it.
Much the same as the Catholic church having to finally accept the BB and evolution, due to the weight of evidence, but then quite cynically putting that down to the work of some magic pixie in the sky.
The irony here is that what you call any "anti-establishment view" is actually progress; that's literally how science paradigms shift. Simply declaring that all new ideas are wrong prima facie without striving to understand why they are wrong is not science (even when the new ideas are later proven to be flawed).
Firstly there is no irony at all, and again, "All I ask, is that all our alternative hypothesis pushers, have real observational evidence supporting their claims, or observational evidence invalidating the incumbent model, and most Importantly, that this evidence, [if they have it] explain what we see, better then the accepted incumbent model.
Is that really too much to ask?
ps: And in finality, undergo peer review".
And of course new ideas are accepted and old ideas confined to limits of applicability.
That's how we have arrived at where we are today. To deny that, or to suggest some sort of mainstream conspiracy to keep new stuff out, is just...well...a silly conspiracy.
Do you really want to goad me into printing a digest of quotes from that thread?

You are funny...Goad???
If you feel like starting another thread, highlighting what you suggest, be my guest.
