   You are making this same mistake and thus ignoring sequence   
   of sequence, selection and iteration:   
      
   *I have never explained this issue to Ben this clearly before*   
   Ben seems to believe that HHH must report that it need not   
   abort its emulation of DDD because AFTER HHH has already   
   aborted this emulation DDD does not need to be aborted.   
      
   That *is* exactly analogous to you saying that you don't need   
   groceries when you do need groceries before you get more groceries.
