This is my impression as well, but do you have a good source for it? If I'm talking with people about black holes, it would be nice to have something to point to besides my vague impression from watching physics lectures.

Any physics equations have limits of applicability. If a singularity appears in the solution to the equations, that is a sign that you have found one of these limits, not that there is an actual infinity there.
