Why doesn't a real Infinite Redshift Limit occur at R+ for Kerr BHs?

Click For Summary
Infinite redshift is expected to occur where gtt = 0, but this does not apply in the same way for Kerr black holes. The discussion highlights a lack of available resources or explanations online regarding this phenomenon. The user expresses frustration at being unable to demonstrate or understand this aspect of Kerr black holes. There is a sense of uncertainty about whether others have insights on this topic. Clarification on the behavior of infinite redshift in Kerr black holes is sought.

Homework Statement
The exercise says the following:

" Considering a body radially infalling towards a Kerr black hole, show that ˙t becomes infinite at the horizon r = r+ but not at the static limit r = R+. Although the r = R+ surface is usually called “infinite redshift surface” (because gtt = 0 there), argue that this is not where the actual infinite redshift takes place (as seen from infinity). What prevents a source of light from being infinitely redshifted at R"
Relevant Equations
We got the formulae for EH raidus (r+) and the radius for Ergosphere (R+).
As I have studied before, I found that Infinite Red Shift occurs where gtt = 0 but this exercise says that on Kerr's Black Hole it doesn't really work like that.

Right now I'm blocked because I didn't find anything on the internet about it so I don't know how to show this phenomenon. Any help would be great.

Guess that none knows the answer.
