    Waitaminit now. My interpretation of gravitational time dilation:

    Person A observing the black hole from a weak gravitational field. Experiences time at 1 sec/sec.

    Person B at 1 nanometer from the EH of a black hole. Experiences time at 1 sec/sec.

    Person A observes Person B's clock ticking very slowly at 1/X B's seconds per A's seconds, where x is approaching zero.

    Person B observes Person A's clock ticking very quickly at X A's seconds per B's second, where 1/x is approaching infinite.

    Is this wrong?
