Plaga's observational-evasion counter

againstThis argument, if it holds, weighs against the claim.constitution →Black holes capable of Eddington-limited accretion and radiation are also subject to astrophysical retention bounds.

The argument

Because linked claim, the compact-star survival record would carry no information about such objects, and the retention bounds would fail to reach the Eddington-limited scenario, contrary to the claim.

Does it work?

Not yet evaluated.

Premises

ContradictedThe evidence, examined directly, weighs against the claim.constitution →Eddington-limited accretion by metastable micro black holes would evade existing astrophysical observations.

The inference is straightforward: if Eddington-limited micro black holes evaded astrophysical observation, the retention bounds could not reach them, and the claim would fail. The argument therefore stands or falls entirely with linked claim, which is assessed as contradicted: Giddings and Mangano, corroborated by Casadio, Fabi and Harms, found the evasion scenario internally inconsistent, with the Eddington argument inapplicable at the relevant radii and the radiated power overstated by many orders of magnitude. With its sole premise contradicted, the counter carries no current force against the claim.
