    Is there any reason to have ever believed that they didn’t spin?

      Not really. But it’s always good to get confirmation of our theories. And it’s usually even more exiting to find an error in a well established theory.

      And then you’ve got to consider that at least mathematically a black hole doesn’t have any volume, so what could actually spin in something that’s infinitely small? This more or less confirms that this is bullshit.
