Hawking: Information Preservation and Weather Forecasting for Black Holes

This seems to be a short piece where he summarizes his points and puts forward a (new?) idea. Maybe it's obvious to researchers in the field, but I don't see much argument or reasoning supporting his claim. It seems like he's just introducing a new idea for people to consider (brainstorming with the community).

So please don't blow this out of proportion.

"So please don't blow this out of proportion."

Surely that won't happen on a reputable site such as Hacker News.
