   No, it *incorrectly* does that. The input is DDD calling an aborting   
   HHH, so the input specifies a halting program.

   Irrelevant. It is only relevant that the input specifies a halting program.

   You keep confused by combining the program under test with the input.   
   Not the program under test is under test, but the code of the program   
   under test is part of the input. The whole input is under test. This   
   code cannot be replaced by other hypothetical code with different behaviour.

   And this behaviour to abort and halt, is part of the code given as input   
   to the simulator.   
   That HHH has bugs to ignore that part of the code, does not change the   
   fact that that part of the code is also under test, because it is used   
   by DDD.
