How’s this for a headline: Supermassive Black Holes Not Guilty Of Shutting Down Star Formation.
Personally, I’ve always considered black holes to be innocent.
Guilt is a social emotion that develops in human children sometime after they are up and walking but before parents hand them the keys to the car. Generally.
With that in mind, could one infer that supermassive black holes -
1. Are social beings?
2. Should never be given the keys to the car? (You would never get them back — that much is certain.)
