   Nope, because a Termination Analyzer needs to answer about *ANY* Program   
   reperesented with an input.   
      
   It was right about THAT input, but that isn't *ALL*   
      
   You are just lying to yourself about what a Termination Analyzer is   
   because you just don't understand the meaning of the words.   
      
   Sorry, provide a reliable source for you definition, or you are just   
   admitting that you world is all just make believe and thus a lie.
