Is there a better way to answer the Black Hole Fuseki (above) than just occupying the corners? Will a response like that shown below do it?

Leela thinks you should just play 3-4s directly under each 5-7 stone (at least the old-ish network I have thinks that).
Game over player 1:
… that is, if you’re as good as she is at reducing the middle, I guess 
(She also thinks that your suggested 002 is worse than the first 002 with -3% compared to -8%).

In your second diagram white is just taking the bait and playing black’s game.
The risk with white 4-4 is that black can still invade the corner, and the center stones will counter white’s influence.
The diagram posted by @Eugene makes perfect sense to me. White takes cash and black doesn’t have good follow-up moves.

Phew, for a moment I thought you were going to blow me out of the water 
(Always a risk when a DDK like me looks at what Leela thinks )

I’m not qualified to answer your question, but I just wanted to ask what software do you use to make your diagrams? It’s an interesting and nice style.
Looks very 1980’s lol
I think it’s Sabaki?
Yeah, a bit retro, but I think it’s elegant in its minimalism and simplicity. Like beautiful go pixel art.
Wow, really? I didn’t realize there was a custom theme like that. Looks very different than the Sabaki themes that I’ve seen before.
