   Finally a breakthrough. Once we establish this breakthrough   
   we can get on to the next step that addresses your objection.   
      
   int D()   
   {   
      int Halt_Status = H(D);   
      if (Halt_Status)   
        HERE: goto HERE;   
      return Halt_Status;   
   }   
      
   H simulates D   
   that calls H(D) to simulate D   
   that calls H(D) to simulate D   
   that calls H(D) to simulate D   
   that calls H(D) to simulate D   
   that calls H(D) to simulate D   
   until H sees this repeating pattern.   
      
   Once you acknowledge that this is true we can get   
   on to the next point that addresses your objection.
