A black hole presents a gravitational pull that nothing, not even light can escape as it is the housing for a singularity -- a collapsed star. But in Interstellar Cooper escapes the black hole because, upon entering, he ends up in a tesseract (which is either a 4-D cube or a wormhole type fold in space, depending on whether you prefer Hypercube or A Wrinkle in Time). This tesseract operates as a bridge similarly to the wormhole bridge which got him there but they aren't the same thing (even though the tesseract spits him out in the same place that the wormhole opened).

If we operate under the assumption that the tesseract is not synonymous with the wormhole "they" created but is a construct planted at the center of Gargantua, and is a creation of "them" which would allow him to escape, then Gargantua is not a "real" black hole. Therefore

1. The quantum data TARS collects are not accurate as they don't come from perceiving an actual "real" black hole's singularity so the mathematical conclusions and formulae based on it shouldn't work and

2. Once the data are collected they should be able to be transmitted out -- if a human can get out (and this isn't a real black hole from which nothing escapes) then the data should be able to cross that same bridge and get out. And yet TARS says transmissions aren't getting through.

Is the movie saying that all black holes are artificial, or that this wasn't a real one, or something else?
