   A usual claims  without evidence.   
   There is no contradiction, because the input for the aborting HHH   
   specifies a DDD that calls the aborting HHH, which makes that the input   
   specifies a halting program. Of course. The semantics of the x86   
   language allow for only one behaviour. Therefore, the specification   
   agrees with the direct execution. Direct execution is only a proof for   
   what is specified in the input.   
   That HHH is programmed with bugs, so that it aborts before it reaches   
   that final halt state, does not change the specification of a halting   
   program.   
   The non-halting property is a property of the simulator, not of the   
   program specified in the input.
