Realizing that one day, confidential data may fall into the mighty internet black whole with no way to undo it is a pretty strong incentive for making use of technology’s wonders.

Apparently other lethals and tacticals are immune to the suction of the black whole so you can easily toss another lethal through it.

“Whole” for “hole” here may reflect people’s understanding that black holes are a phenomenon of absolutes. They’re wholly black (though their intense gravity does trigger some visual phenomena in their vicinities), and if you fall into one, you’re wholly fucked. Some theorists even suggest that each one may contain a whole universe.
