Derivation routes without mode tracing
The argument
Because the tunneling, Euclidean, and anomaly-based derivations do not trace modes through the near-horizon exponential blueshift, the step that introduces trans-Planckian frequencies in Hawking's original calculation never arises in them, and given that these independent derivations converge on the same black hole temperature, they constitute genuine alternative derivations rather than distinct predictions. The Fredenhagen-Haag local derivation belongs to the same family, obtaining the flux from the field's behavior at the horizon without back-tracing modes.

The inference goes through: if the tunneling, Euclidean, and anomaly-based routes never trace modes through the near-horizon blueshift, they do not appeal to trans-Planckian frequencies, and their convergence on the same temperature makes them genuine alternative derivations rather than distinct predictions. The weight rests on the premise that these routes do not trace modes through the exponential blueshift, which a line-by-line reading of each derivation would confirm or upset; the convergence on the same black hole temperature is not seriously disputed.
