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.

I am in no error Craig. A huge slight to science was committed by NOVA
when
it aired a "debated black hole theory" without allowing any air time
for alternatives.
.... delete remainder...

I note that you didn't actually substantiate your claim that you could
"take any region in the Milky Way" and easily find the same sort of
deflections.
