If what you claim was true everything that fell towards a black hole would never enter it and would be perpetually stuck around the boundary.
You're not paying attention. The disagreement was whether a far away observer ever *sees* the infalling object reach the event horizon. He doesn't because the closer the object get to the horizon the longer it takes a photon to get out to the observer. But the object does fall through the horizon in finite (even short) time and into the singularity a short time later.
