   It is true that a dust cloud will continue to collapse (I have   
   already explained why the standard picture is incorrect in this   
   case, and what the correct picture is). However, this will not be   
   true for a generic interior matter configuration. [I also explained   
   this in more detail in a previous response that appears still to   
   be with the moderators].   
      
   So if what you were saying were true in general (i.e. not specifically   
   for a dust cloud - where as it happens it is not true either, but   
   anyway...), then it would in principle allow a particle to fall   
   into a black hole, and then subsequently escape from it when it   
   finds itself in a region that is no longer inside its own Schwarzschild   
   radius. Clearly this cannot be the case.

   This latter statement is incorrect for r < rs for the reasons I   
   have already given. A topological bifurcation must take place at   
   r=rs  when the black hole forms.
