Instead, it is a lesson that string theory has clearly taught us. If we want to talk about exact observables only, it’s simply not true that physics may be thought of as being composed of sharply localized objects in a predetermined classical geometric background, at least not in a uniquely specified way.
The very assumption that there exists a black hole interior (and the strict event horizon that separates it from the rest of the Universe) is an approximation. Exact stringy rules of evolution don’t allow such a conclusion to be 100% certain, ever. The probability may converge to 100% for a star collapse but the remaining deviations from 100% are always necessary to restore the unitarity and guarantee other high-precision consistency conditions.
