You see, if someone were to have been placed on that
PBS NOVA program to counter that claim would have
simply said. Look, take any region of the Milky Way
where there are a dense population of stars and you will easily find
the same sort of accelerated deflection
and where it is ludicrous to think there is a black-hole
nearby.

You are in error. The stars in question are orbiting a compact region
in space containing 3.6 million solar masses, which is fainter than
the expected brightness of a handful of normal stars. Those facts are
not typical of "any region in the Milky Way," except for the galactic
center.
