Default Black hole being born?

What do the BH-deniers make of this story?


http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/4537905.stm

======================================
Astronomers are poring over images of a distant galaxy for what may be
evidence of the birth of a black hole.

On Monday, the US space agency's (Nasa) Swift satellite detected a brief
burst of gamma-rays - high energy radiation - originating from deep
space.

Within a minute, Swift was homing in on the burst to be followed by
dozens of the world's most powerful telescopes.

It could be due to two neutron stars merging or a collision between a
neutron star and black hole.

"It's incredibly exciting. It's what we've been waiting for for years,"
Professor Josh Bloom, of the University of California, US, told the BBC
News website.
