Two comments:

There are a growing group of us who see event horizons as only valid for your physical solid world we suggest the event horizon doesn't exist for QM and that was even reluctantly accept by people like Hawkings.

The event horizon is as well defined as the surface of a water body. Viewed from a long distance it looks very defined, view up very close the clear distinction is lost.

I believe in "Evil, Bad, Ungodly fantasy science and maths", so I am undoubtedly wrong to you.
