   Unlike a halt decider that must be correct   
   on every input a simulating termination analyzer   
   only needs be correct on at least one input.

   *Incorrect paraphrase*   
   Halting is defined as reaching a final halt state.   
      
   if the state is final, the machine just stops and continues no more.   
   https://cs.stackexchange.com/questions/38228/what-is-halting   
      
   When it is correctly predicted that   
   an infinite simulation of the input   
   cannot possibly reach its own "return"   
   statement final halt state then the   
   input is non-halting.

   You cannot possibly coherently explain the details of this   
   because what you just said in incorrect. Exactly what are   
   the "other tools" that you are referring to a magic wand?

   recognize that recursive simulation is a   
   non-halting behavior pattern similar to infinite   
   recursion. Termination analyzers correctly predict   
   what the behavior of infinite simulation would be.
