   No, as usual you are twisting my words. Further Infinite_Recursion is   
   irrelevant, because we are talking about a HHH that aborts, so its   
   simulation looks more like:   
      
   void Finite_Recursion (int N) {   
    if (N > 0) Finite_Recursion (N - 1);   
   }

   > HERE: goto HERE;   
   > }   
      
   Irrelevant text ignored. HHH, when simulating itself, is simulating a   
   program that aborts after two cycles of recursion. So, when HHH is   
   simulated, no abort is needed.   
      
   Do you understand that Finite_Recursion halts after N recursions,   
   without a need to abort it?

   Do you understand that Finite_Recursion halts, even when the power cord   
   is not yanked out?
