> At steady state, a classical black hole is fully described just mass, charge, and angular momentum.
That's just wrong, we know this not to be the case from QM information theory and from thermodynamic arguments! This is the main point Hawking was making. While we don't yet have a good microscopic theory of what's going on, macroscopically we know that the information (entropy) doesn't just vanish into three numbers.
