Your reasoning here is almost air-tight, except that
1) time travel makes all the time-conditional predicates suspect.
2) a very common Wolfe theme is an evil person's misdeed furthering a 
higher power's plan for the greater good, without the person being any 
less evil or the higher power any less good.

This means that the black hole can be the fault of Typhon *and* it can 
be part of a righteous condemnation for other past or future misdeeds, 
at least in the the author's opinion.
