   By the way, it is mostly your code, and someone elses x86utm.

   Essentially, as the Crowned King of Halting, you are just /decreeing/ an   
   edict making it illegal to gather evidence as to whether H made the   
   correct decision. Evidence such as looking at the bits H left behind to   
   see whether they really comprise the state of non-terminating   
   simulation.   
      
   And you think that is how you conduct CS research; like that's how it   
   works in academia?   
      
   Moreover, you bemoan people who are "closed-minded" and cling to   
   "conventional wisdom" by which they assume you are wrong; yet if those   
   people just accepted arbitrary rules about what they may or may not   
   investigate, to avoid producing results displeasing to the King,   
   then they are fine intellectuals.   
      
   I don't see what remaining conversation is to be had here.
