The whole article is stupid on many levels.
Still don't accept the idea of a "size" for a black hole; the diameter of the event horizon only gives you the point where light is no longer able to escape gravity. The black hole itself has no diameter.

That said, I still insist scientists are grossly underestimating the mass of black holes in general.

They’ve got no solid scientific grounds to estimate the mass at all really. They can’t solve three-body problems in our own solar system, so there is no way they can actually predict the effects in a galaxy with tens of thousands of star systems, and their reliance on “dark matter” shows they are missing some important elements to the equations altogether.
