Light bouncing of an object is what creates reflection. The only way to see reflection past the horizon is to be closer to the singularity than the object you're looking at.

That is what I said, yes.

The point being that the event horizon deals with the structure of spacetime, while reflectivity is a material property. An object doesn't get painted with vantablack when it passes the event horizon.

I'm going to break this cycle and not repeat the same thing a fourth time.
