It is not the case that gravitons come out of a black hole to

above. This is why I got into the whole Tortoise coordinates and
so forth. I will have to leave it here I think.
Why does the perspective of an exterior observer have preferred
status? This is an absurdly intstrumentalist/positivist idea. What
matters is the objective reality, not what you might chance to see
from some perspective or the other. The idea of all the mass-energy
residing on the stretched horizon is just so much positivistic
twaddle......
I agree. The question would be "Residing there /*when?*/" The only
interest in the distant observers viewpoint is to compare it to what we
distant observers observe.
