   Repeat of previously refuted point (see above).   
      
   This counts as less than no rebuttal and is therefore you admission that   
   the point it was posted in response to:   
      
   ----------------------------------   
   1) DD halts so there is no non-terminating behavior to detect.   
   2) An aborted simulation is an incorrect simulation.  This is proven   
   true by the meaning of the words.   
   ----------------------------------   
      
   As well as the original refutation of that point:   
      
   ----------------------------------   
   And because HHH aborts, DD is *NOT* simulated by HHH according to the   
   semantics of its specification language.   
      
   Therefore there is no basis to judge the behavior.   
   ----------------------------------   
      
   Are both *CORRECT*.
