A 2009 overview (postdating COBE, for example): http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0004-637X/703/1/35... (preprint: https://arxiv.org/abs/0902.4575) &amp;gt; 2/3 LIGO detections imply one of the merging pair of black holes should be a naked singularity. Where did you get that from? It&amp;#x27;s sure not prominent on the caltech or mit sites, or indeed in Pretorius et al. https://arxiv.org/abs/1603.08955&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1603.08955/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
