We, Mr. Hawking included, I would hope, who accept the definition of a singularity make no presumptions about what can occur within a singularity because by definition, we cannot know.

That's fine, as long as you will also agree not to think up the most unlikely fantasy-ridden stuff that breaks all the laws of nature and then tell us that we can't know it wasn't in that singularity. Chocolate teapots going round Mars and all that, you know?
