Are Black Holes Actually Grey Holes?

A few weeks ago renowned physicist Stephen Hawking wrote a new paper pertaining to black holes. Mr. Hawking has been debating whether the theoretical "firewall" of a black hole which was proposed by a group of physicists in 2012. Mr. Hawking conveyed that the "firewall" and the alleged event horizon (the line that cannot be crossed unless you would like to be teared to pieces by the potent gravitational forces). Mr. Hawking invokes an "apparent horizon" alters the manner of quantum fluctuation within a black hole. Ergo an alleged grey area. Although Stephen Hawking is a trustworthy physicist, I await more definitive answers such as one that pertains to ECOs (Eternally Collapsing Objects) or other explanatory wonders that would explain these apparent horizons.
