   D simulated by H cannot possibly reach its own   
   simulated final halt state.   
      
   I am not going to talk about any non-nonsense of   
   resuming a simulation after we already have this   
   final answer.   
      
   We just proved that the input to H(D) specifies   
   non-halting. Anything beyond this is flogging a   
   dead horse.
