You mentioned it started with something the size of an electron.
Lately I get the impression that at the point of singularity it is perhaps not correct to to see it as necessarily a miniscule object.
I wonder have you a view of what it means this singularity.

I agree - I tend to view a singularity in its mathematical context. A point of infinite density and zero size. Its physical significance becomes meaningless, but mathematicians recognise a singularity as an undefined concept/entity.
Plenty of evidence exists that Black Holes are real physical objects in the Universe - whether they "actually" have at their centers, points of infinite space time curvature or density is another matter. It may well be just a very compressed object which creates such a high gravitational field that light itself cannot escape.
