   Unless you give this a fair review and not the usual   
   "I am wrong no matter what I say" I may never speak to   
   you again. This is the first time I spoke to you in   
   many months so you know that I mean it.   
      
   It turns out that this point is the key element   
   of the theory of computation that I have overturned.   
      
   Even the LLMs freaked out over this and just would   
   not believe me until after I proved it.   
      
   Unlike people LLMs are not so full of themselves   
   that they utterly will not face the actual facts.   
      
   The fact that   
   (a) Deciders only compute the mapping from the behavior   
        that their input actually specifies   
      
   (b) A correct way to measure the behavior that their   
        input actually specifies is D simulated by H   
      
   (c) Proves that H(D)==0 is correct and   
      
   (d) The requirement for H to report on anything else   
        has always been a category error out-of-scope for   
        Turing machine deciders since the beginning of the   
        halting problem back in 1936.   
      
   Without my innovation of a simulating halt decider   
   back in 2016 there was no basis to see the difference   
   between the behavior that the input specifies as different   
   than the behavior of the direct execution.   
      
   int D()   
   {   
      int Halt_Status = H(D);   
      if (Halt_Status)   
        HERE: goto HERE;   
      return Halt_Status;   
   }   
      
   *Bottom line is this crucial verified fact*   
   D simulated by H according to the semantics of C   
   programming language (until H sees the repeating   
   pattern) does enable H to report that its simulated   
   input cannot possibly reach its own simulated   
   "return" statement final halt state.
