Gravitational lensing surveys coverage is pretty darn small so far it's also might not be appearant on the scales we are talking about there will need to be a pretty lucky alignment of a galaxy and a black hole given the space and relative size of both objects and the noticeable lense diameter I'm not sure that intergalactic lensing will be detectable as intragalactic ones which also are pretty rare.



Have you done the math to back up this position? Because I'm pretty sure the people who wrote the paper did the math for theirs.
