This is minor as far a I am concerned.
It still points out that there are bigger bodies in the cosmos then what laypeople normally think of. It does not take away the fact that there are differences in star sizes, galaxy sizes or black holes. As you said, "still much more massive".
When you say things like this, it allows theists to go, "SEE SEE SEE, my old bronze aged goat herder god is real."
Even the black hole in the center of the Milky Way is called "Sagittarius A STAR".
And? The point is that black holes still exist, and what we are seeing in every case is immense gravity as to the point that not even light can escape.
The only debate now is what is beyond the event horizon.
No. The debate is whether there is a event horizon, or indeed whether any event horizon actually exists.
None of what you are arguing would lead to a Sky Wizard regardless. I am not saying you are arguing one exists, I am merely making my objection to old mythology in my original post.
I'd only agree that science updates as new data comes in. I see nothing about the majority of scientists scrapping the term "black hole". They still use it.
Just like there is a battle between string theory and m-theory. But neither are looking back to have old bronze age gods as gap answers.
It still remains that there are massive forces in the universe that prove that humans are finite, and not the product of a magic factory boss.
