   Nobody requires it. So, you fail to prove the category error.   
   It should report about the program specified in the input. This   
   specifies a halting program. If the decider fails to see that, it is   
   incorrect. In this case we can present exactly the same input to other   
   deciders and we see that they correctly report the halting behaviour.
