Then why are the problems with the metric at the Schwarzschild radius removable
with a coordinate substitution, e.g. Eddington-Finklestein coordinates?  If

r* = r+2m ln( r/2m - 1 ),
u = t-r*,
v = t+r*

Then you work out the details, and - voila - the problems disappear, except at
the center.  Just sayin' is all...  Oh, but don't let that stop your plans for
universe domination.
