Yes Bill S .. we see this sort of response in a number of places
In you car you distributor cut the supply current to a coil to a magnetic field.
We have a law that says you can not destroy or create energy and the energy in the coil is mantained by the flow of current.
Cutting the current the energy response to this is immediate and brutal it creates a spark which we use as ignition for a petrol engine.
See what you are trying to do is destroy energy the system does everything to not allow that. We understand the effect in normal physics and even can write explainations lik di/dt in the coil where dt becomes very small if not infinite blah blah.
QM information appears to be exactly like energy it seems to obey the same rules you can't create it, you can't destroy it, you can't clone it.

We have been unable to think of any way in which to destroy it. Now think about that here is this effect which is suppose to be trival and minor only important at small scales and you can't stop it .. it will defy normal physics rules to maintain it's existance.
Hawkings being a logical person has come to accept the conclussion QM doesn't see space distance and normal gravity forces and will try and preserve itself how could it possibly be destroyed by a black hole. See for Hawking radiation QM is alive and well right up to the event horizon so the question becomes do you really think it will stop there. Penrose etc believe it does, Hawkings has joined the QM camp given it doesn't even see the event horizon it's not subject to space rules why would it?
