Science is forming a testable hypothesis and then testing it. So you hypothesize "as stars accumulate fusion products their cores get heavier and the rate of fusion increases, making them brighter" and test this both with modeling and looking if this matches the stars we can see. How is that now science?

Models are not stars and very incomplete. They are different stars. Feels like you could drive a supernova through the black holes in the sloppiness.

Feels like?

What evidence do you have for the sloppiness and how does the current model fail to explain the deviation in observations?

So do it! :) Then we'll all have some new science to learn.
