the claim

The size of a black hole increases as it accretes matter and energy

the verdict
COMMON KNOWLEDGE
Legacy classification; evidence review pending
Recorded sources
no sources on either side

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the size of a black hole increases as it accretes matter and energy?

The increase in a black hole's mass through the accretion of matter and energy is a direct consequence of general relativity and black hole thermodynamics, making it a foundational and observational certainty that requires no citation.

The analysis

The claim is a fundamental physical principle following directly from mass-energy equivalence and black hole mechanics (such as the increase in mass and area upon capturing matter/energy). It is trivially true by definition and observation in physics, placing it under common knowledge.
