   And the problem you ignore is that each HHH is given the DDD that calls   
   itself, and not some other HHH, and thus you can't look at the other   
   HHHs behavior with their different behavior (in particular, the HHH/DDD   
   pair where HHH doesn't abort) but look at giving this exact input,   
   calling this exact HHH to a "correct emulator" that doesn't abort its   
   emulation.   
      
   You logic of looking at other HHHs is just a LIE and proves you don't   
   understand either Computations or Logic, or even what Truth itself is.   
      
   EVERY DDD that calls an HHH that aborts and returns will reach its own   
   return instruction. so your claim is just a lie.   
      
   You confuse that DDD with the PARTIAL emulation that HHH did, which   
   doesn't show the full behavior of DDD, only partial.   
      
   This appears to be because you just don't understand the difference   
   between Truth and Knowledge which shows you don't really know what   
   EITHER of them actually is, so, you are just proving you total inability   
   tto understand how logic actually works.
