Second hurdle being the concept that black holes consume matter, thus depleting a limited resource and burn out.
EDIT: That's cruel. I'll explain.
Black holes can theoretically be any size, as long as the mass is compressed small enough. In practice, only stars that are above a certain size will ever have enough mass to compress down to black hole status. Once this has occured though, black holes don't 'feed' on matter. Anything caught within the gravitational pull that is unable to get away will be sucked in to it and added to its existing mass. The black hole will thus get bigger and its gravitational pull stronger.
If no mass is sucked in to the black hole in a very long time, it won't burn out, it will simply remain the same size with the same gravitational pull.
