Hell, the abbreviated text here seems to describe what we were
discussing a year and a half or so ago- defining a BH more properly as
a frozen EM blackbody or FEMBB.

Correct!, of sufficiently heavy mass stars, whereas their 2r, 4r or
possibly 16r escape velocity exceeds c, by rights these items should
appear as a black star or black hole if you like. I've only said this
and having argued on behalf of such at least a hundred times, and so
what's the big deal?

A neutron star might be within that realm of hosting sufficient
gravity in order to become a relatively small black star. The energy
and subsequent combining force of electrons and positrons is yet
another kind of sufficient density potential and thereby black star
potential that’s every bit as black hole worthy, and perhaps that's
almost as worthy as a thick cloud of resting photons surrounding a
core of antimatter should look black and not otherwise transparent,
even though the associated mass is not necessarily the cause of such
absolute darkness.
