   Like you are too stupid to recognize that recursive   
   simulation derives the exact same non-halting behavior   
   pattern as infinite recursion? I DON'T BUY IT !!!   
      
   Are you really this stupid or just a liar?   
   I know that Mike is not this stupid he proved   
   his technical competence in far too many ways.   
      
   That he proposed this also seems to prove he is not a liar.

   A software engineer Not being able to recognize   
   behavior exactly the same as infinite recursion   
   is the same as a PhD math professor that does   
   not know how to do first grade arithmetic.
