   Such an easily verified fact that I cannot begin   
   to imagine how anyone disputing this is not simply   
   a dammed liar.   
      
   *D simulated by H cannot possibly reach past its own first line*   
      
   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.
