   No counter-example to the above statement exists for all   
   computation and all human reasoning that can be expressed   
   in language.   
      
   Double-talk, weasel words and ad hominem attacks count as   
   pure foolishness and zero rebuttal what-so-ever.   
      
   Finding an example of a computation that cannot be   
   expressed as finite string transformation rules is   
   the only possible valid rebuttal to the above.   
      
   int DD()   
   {   
      int Halt_Status = HHH(DD);   
      if (Halt_Status)   
        HERE: goto HERE;   
      return Halt_Status;   
   }   
      
   DD simulated by HHH according to the semantics of the C   
   language (the correct finite string transformation rules)   
   cannot possibly reach its own "return" instruction final   
   halt state.   
      
   Imagining what the simulated DD should do stupidly ignores   
   what this DD actually does. This may be dishonest instead   
   of stupid.
