OK, so as of this point, the difference between the two is theoretical rather than observational? And that we understand the theory of BH more than black stars, with the latter being speculative based on vacuum energy effects (which are, themselves, rather weakly limited by observation)?
Yes, that counts as an observation of a BH to me.
