Personally, I don't think the spirit of cosmic censorship was to denounce the existence of space-time beyond the Cauchy horizon, but was an acknowledgement that space-time is so deformed beyond that point that no current physical treatment, even General Relativity, can provide an adequate hypothesis. And since the best framework we have falls apart at that point, we have no way to proceed since, obviously, direct observation is currently impossible. It's like having a treasure map where in the last 2 miles of a 100 mile journey are missing--the information just isn't there.
This particular article, on its face, posed by Dafermos and Luk that cosmic censorship conjecture is a cop out seems, at best, argumentative. "We know space-time exists beyond the Cauchy horizon, but we still don't know how to describe it."
"Even though you can extend space-time beyond the Cauchy horizon, Einstein’s equations can’t be solved."
