        If simulating halt decider H correctly simulates its   
        input D until H correctly determines that its simulated D   
        would never stop running unless aborted then   
      
        H can abort its simulation of D and correctly report that D   
        specifies a non-halting sequence of configurations.

   What do you mean by premature abort?   
   The actual word "premature" means too early.   
   If the abort is too early then there is a point   
   in the execution trace that is not too early.

   In other words when DDD calls its own simulator HHH in   
   recursive simulation this is exactly the same thing as   
   DDD never calling its own simulator HHH1 in recursive   
   simulation?   
      
   Sounds like 1984 newspeak to me.
