   Now that chat bots have proven that they understand   
   what I am saying I can rephrase my words to be more   
   clear.   
      
   I have been rude because I cannot interpret the   
   rebuttal to this statement as anything besides   
   a despicable lie for the sole purpose of sadistic   
   pleasure of gaslighting:   
      
      
   typedef void (*ptr)();   
   int HHH(ptr P);   
      
   void DDD()   
   {   
      HHH(DDD);   
      return;   
   }   
      
   int main()   
   {   
      HHH(DDD);   
      DDD();   
   }   
      
   Termination Analyzer HHH simulates its input until   
   it detects a non-terminating behavior pattern. When   
   HHH detects such a pattern it aborts its simulation   
   and returns 0.   
      
      
   Every chatbot figures out on its own that HHH   
   correctly rejects DDD as non-terminating because   
   the input to HHH(DDD) specifies recursive simulation.
