The final singularity is a point in a specific mathematical construction called the Pinero sea boundary construction. No experiment that can be conducted today can distinguish between a true black hole, surrounded by an event horizon and an astrophysical black hole which looks like it's going to have an event horizon. Because of Venerizons, if you look at their mathematical definition, refer to the ultimate future. We have not done measurements on the ultimate future, so we cannot conclude that they are, in fact, surrounded by event horizons. So I conclude, aha, what these guys have discovered really is that the universe has no choice. If the laws of physics have to be consistent over all of time
