WOW! 300 Billion early-universe black holes. At 12 billion years ago, that puts the age of the universe at a few billion years old. That would be enough time for some early supermassive objects to form, collapse under their own G's, create SMBH's and then evaporate?I could see how this would be possible if the universe was the size it was today but at roughly 20% the size, the SMBH's would have greater probability of 'eating' regularly, unless, the rate at which energy condensed to matter was slower than the rate at which SMBH's need 'food' to remain. If this was the condition, then the SMBH's would eventually evap and the cosmic sea could fill with cooling energy/matter.
I don't believe it was such a high #.
