I understand why you say this but it sounds awfully pessimistic. Its still an area of active theoretical research, we really don't know that there is no way to get information from a black hole, as I understand it from the black hole information paradox[1].

It wasn't supposed to be pessimistic. I think it would be kind of disappointing if there was a way to peek under the rug and see what's going on in there. Whatever we see is unlikely to be as fantastic as the idea that there are literally holes in the universe--holes which can be traversed, but only in one direction.
