So if this is correct=2C what is the difference between a black hole and a =
naked singularity?

The article describes an event horizon shrinking or growing in relation to =
a black hole's apparent horizon=2C but isn't Hawking saying that the appare=
nt horizon is real and the event horizon just doesn't exist? In which case =
how can a black hole have both?
