Some science types get lazy and say that

h = c = G =1.

They are not equal, or they could be used interchangeably.

I agree. But in physics there is the useful concept of locally legal. Doctors can equate any symbol to 1 locally. In physics 1 can have any value, locally. Thus, the famous Newtonian units,

1 = infinity = 0 = G

If 1 can have any value it won’t take long for doctoral ingenuity to equate 1 to the multione, aka, multiverse.

Once locally legal any error can be generalized to be globally legal by giving the error a catchy marketing label such as Black Hole. This way the error is abstracted from its mathematical origin.

Once abstracted from its mathematical origin any error can be observed and verified by NASA by associating it with whatever scientific payload NASA had planned for the next mission.

  
 
Any bug of physics thus dressed up as a feature of nature by the authority of doctors of physics becomes a prestigious field of academic ruminations and in turn can be used to renormalize other annoying bugs as features.

In physics it takes only one generation for a fatal error to become a legitimate field on which PhDs are issued. Physics needs an army of new doctors to multiply, classify and order the infinity of 1s.
