No, I don't think so, Mitch. There are people that challenge that smoking is bad for your health. Does this challenge require resolution? There are people that believe the Earth is 6600 years old. Does this challenge require resolution? There are people that challenge that metals are made of atoms? Does this challenge require resolution?

There is simply no difference except relative differences. And there is no such thing as NEGLIGIBLE effect when it comes to gravity's singularity (Singularity) (singularities) (field(s)) (well(s)) (hole(s)) (plane(s)) (universal reach(es)). The gravity of an infinite Universe would never be 'local'. It would be 'non-local'. Every 'local' singularity (every 'local' universe) of an infinity of locals being its constituent makeup, thus impervious to the [Big Rip] of its infinity (rather the Big Crunch / Big Bang 'Singularity' beyond its own [distantly down and in] Planck horizon being impervious to itself [distantly up and out]). Not that we wouldn't observe complex entangling intra-active effects -- relatively speaking -- of such naked (infinite) 'Singularity'. What is "distance" when it comes to gravity's 'singularity' / the singularity of gravity (the universality of gravity)? A variable (relative) geometry of SPACE-time. A relatively malleable space.

We think about the Earth gravitational field as if the mass is concentrated in a point. But we know, that the mass isn't. And the gravitational field -or the effect that things fall in the direction of that point- is not concentrated to a point neither. Then why could we assume pointlike singularities in the first place? Something may look like that, but we most certainly make a fault with such an assumption. What happens is the impression of movement and that looks distorted to us, because it appears to happen in a region, that seems to be too small (a 'black hole'). But isn't relativity a theory of spacetime, where time could be to some extend exchanged with time if we perform a coordinate transformation. So, in such regions this seems to happen and the observed space looks too small, because the timelike axis is pointing in a 'wrong' direction (away from ours). But if we would perform such a coordinate shift, the space would expand again and in such a region everything would look as usual, except that the Earth would just vanish in a black hole. Hence 'space' denotes the impression an observer would have, that is moving along his worldline and not what we perceive as such. We have our own impression, but that is special to us. So distance has to be measured relative to the observer in question (from an assumed distant point and not from Earth) and with the appropriate timelike axis (the one measured locally at that point).
