   Then he wouldn't have been the chief editor of   
   one of the most prestigious computer science   
   journals that exist.

   The key thing about C is that it is simple   
   enough that cheaters look ridiculous.   
      
   void DDD()   
   {   
    HHH(DDD);   
    return;   
   }   
      
   HHH simulates DDD that calls HHH(DDD)   
   that simulates DDD that calls HHH(DDD)...   
      
   How is this DDD going to reach its "return"   
   statement by HHH simulating DDD?

   This required establishing a new foundation
