I&amp;#x27;ll admit, it&amp;#x27;s beyond me. There&amp;#x27;s also this research (cited by the author of Blowtorch Theory, if I&amp;#x27;m not mistaken) supporting direct-collapse SMBH in the early cosmos here: https://arxiv.org/abs/1504.04042&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1504.04042/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
