Depends on how hard you try to take what's being said as actual fact as opposed to a long rambling declaration of "we don't know".

Black holes ... all mass no volume single point ... need a theory to try to describe what's in the middle but we don't know what that is ... that's what would happen I think ... probably not a singularity some kind of stringy stuff ... no hair ... maybe ... cosmic strings ... blah blah spaghetti ... I'm hungry

Nothing ever escapes a black hole

Strings ARE religion so far… they don’t even have a good theory yet… maybe a postulation. Brian Greene is also a weenie.

And Hawking Radiation escapes from black holes…. That’s the jets that escape perpendicular to the plane of the black hole… if I am explaining that right.

Agree with all this based on my limited knowledge and understanding. The image I linked in that "escape" post was supposedly material escaping the gravity of a black hole ... I don't know whether or not people think it was material that crossed the horizon.

Also liked @Fig 's post which gave a strong nod to theory.

It's only when people start talking about it like it's fact because the [current] math is a good match. The maths have looked really good and been wrong before.

Maybe a singularity is tiny. A former sun the size of a grapefruit… or a golf ball. Or the size of a bacteria…

Seems like quite a few people lean this way today.
