These are not mutually exclusive options. The community works on both.

Again, I agree that so far, practically speaking, work on BHILP has not been super compelling. I take issue with the stronger stance that Hossenfelder seems to take, that we know a priori that work on BHILP will be worthless because experimental data is not forthcoming. ("And that’s why I stopped working on the black hole information loss paradox. Not because it’s unsolvable. But because you can’t solve this problem with mathematics alone, and experiments are not possible, not now and probably not in the next 10000 years.")
