   That HHH fails to meet the requirements by itself does   
   not mean that the requirements are wrong.   
      
   Turing machine deciders only compute a mapping from   
   their [finite string] inputs to an accept or reject   
   state on the basis that this [finite string] input   
   specifies or fails to specify a semantic or syntactic   
   property.   
      
   That the information that HHH is required to report   
   on simply is not contained in its input is what makes   
   the requirements wrong.
