   But the question to Professor Sipser was, as you quoted:   
      
      
      If simulating halt decider H correctly simulates its input D   
      until H correctly determines that its simulated D would never   
      stop running unless aborted then   
      
      H can abort its simulation of D and correctly report that D   
      specifies a non-halting sequence of configurations.   
      
      
      
   Which said NOTHING about the x86 language,   
      
   So, who is the liar now?

   Which wasn't what we were talking about with Professor Sipser, who never   
   saw any of that.   
      
   I guess you just have a major brain malfunction and can't keep your lies   
   straight.
