Doesn't it follow that what we might see is a black area of space that is actually matter frozen in time, and not a hole?

A postulate doesn't follow from false premises, since it is undemonstrable. The conclusion of your sillogism is to make false the premise, because from the BH you get the mean terms and from the mean terms you do proof false the BH.
Never at rest.
