Radiation trapping defeats feedback

The argument

Because the photon trapping radius in white-dwarf or neutron-star matter far exceeds the Bondi radius, radiation generated near the hole is trapped and advected inward with the flow rather than streaming out against it. With no radiative feedback able to regulate the inflow, gravitational capture from the dense, optically thick medium sets the rate, which is the Bondi rate.

Does it work?
