So it appears that I have a fair view of the grid as it were. AND certainly the ball should be under the sheet to even represent that situation.

I know Hawking has produced mathematical models of what goes on inside black holes but these are even bordering on philosophy...
I salute your braveness to say such but the truth stands irrespective of the greatness of the man who that may undermine.
His position is very much he can speculate (albeit with presumably sound math models) however in truth he is more of a philosopher than a scientist when in this area for what really goes on at present is beyond observation so ideas will remain simply ideas..my little understanding of scientific methods tells me that it is not a theory until observation support the "idea" and I don’t know that very much of his input does that... mind you his view is not to be dismissed but I think many, because of his intellectual might, are afeared to say what you have said. Congratulations.
Anyways I have noticed so many drawings, artist impressions of light being represented being gravitationally lensed.. it seems to me that who ever is behind many (al I have seen or noticed) have the ball on the blanket concept as the only way they can work with the concept..because "space" is curved around the ball , or in the drawings the object responsible for the gravitational lensing.
I mean the light comes along directly toward the gravitational lensing object then moves out into space and detours around it..so as to produce the effect in the blanket and ball world..I say that view is wrong.. as would anyone when you look carefully at such artist impressions.
