   1% is much larger than zero.

   Grasping trivialities is the extent of your skill, so that's   
   all you get.   
      
   For me, it's a triviality that your H's are deciding the D's   
   wrongly, but at that point  we go over your head.

   your criteria cannot decide the fact that the NON-DIAGONAL   
   test case void DDD(void) { HHH(DDD); return; } terminates.   
      
   The 1 return value is correct, and HHH(DDD) /can/ return it.   
   DDD will not "behave opposite"; it will terminate as the 1 says.

   Right; no alternative even seems plausible, like that:   
   - Turing was right;   
   - Church was right;   
   - Goedel was right;   
   - C. A. R. Hore was right;   
   - P. Olcott was wrong;   
   ....   
      
   Nah, cannot be! Not even /plausible/ seeming.

   You have a small body of claims that you have repeated for years.   
      
   The claims have been examined in excruciating detail by all   
   your interlocutors.   
      
   You have /never/ responded to any criticism. You will not analyze   
   any rebuttal, look at any code, nothing.   
      
   Just casual dismissals, accusations of lying, stupidity, ...

   L'essence; that's French for "gas".

   Verified by what third party? Oh, you mean Claude AI and Chat GPT?   
      
   Your casual dismissals and personal attacks do not verify anything.   
      
   Get someone with serious academic credentials to "validate"   
   your shit, then talk.

   The commercially available LLM systems provided by Anthropic,   
   OpenAI and others all have system prompts telling them not to   
   antagonize the user.   
      
   An extremely common complaint (probably in the top five)   
   is that they are "sycophantic".

   You do not contradict conventional wisdom; you contradict   
   air-tight logic.   
      
   Conventional wisdom is shit like "eating carrots makes you   
   see sharper".   
      
   Incomputability of halting is entirely unconventional; it took   
   someone very smart to recognize the problem and answer it.
