Strictly speaking a scientific theory doesn’t have to be consistent across all possible cases in order to be useful, only within its domain of applicability. Newton and Einstein’s theories of gravity both have edge cases where they give a division by zero error; that doesn’t stop them being useful in more typical cases.

According to a math professor I had in college, black holes aren’t a mere divide by zero error; they’re something even worse.
