The argument

Given that linked claim, and because linked claim while linked claim, the hazardous figure cannot follow from any single consistent use of the framework's formulas, so the scenario must combine Hawking-radiation and accretion relations across incompatible regimes.

    The inference is sound: if Plaga's scenario works within the Casadio–Harms model yet reports a power twenty-three orders of magnitude above what the model consistently yields, the hazardous figure must mix formulas across incompatible regimes. The premises that the scenario adopts the Casadio–Harms model and that it estimates roughly 10^16 watts are uncontested statements of Plaga's own paper, so the argument stands or falls with linked claim, which is now supported with high credence on a direct reading of the primary sources.
