Ambiguous ?,no not at all.It has been asked a million times and I
suspect the author knows these tortured explanations are a shorthand
for an enormous joke at the expense of clear definitions such as
inside/outside , circumference/center,ect.
I hope you drive yourself crazy with the same effort you tried to
drive the general population crazy (who thankfully are no longer
listening).No doubt you never pondered the relationship between
diameter,circumference,radius and Pi and how one generates the other
in ever diminishing or expanding quantities (diameter -circumference -
center - radius half the original diameter - circumference - center
.....).Your 'inside' a black hole is just a silly attempt to reconcile
a circumference with a center within intellectual limits.
