Black holes are mysterious, yet also deceptively simple − a new space mission may help physicists answer hairy questions about these astronomical objects
Not sure how a black hole can be described as simple when we don't know and will probably never know what's beyond the event horizon!
I agree, the term simple here imho is a bizarre choice of words,
Scratch it out and replace it with "Complex" and agreement will be had...

Our understanding of black holes is tenuous. Since you can't do an experiment with a probe to penetrate the event horizon we will likely never know what lies at the center. A singularity? In that way very complex.
