   You are not precise enough in your use of the exact   
   words that I precisely specified.

   There does not exist any H(P) such that P calls   
   H(P) and has the same behavior as H1(P) where   
   P does not call H1.   
      
   Both H(P) and H1(P) do apply the best possible   
   finite string transformation rules to their inputs   
   and derive different results because there is   
   a pathological relationship between H and P.

   I have always been correct about this and no one   
   person could ever show otherwise because their   
   own basis of correct was incorrect: mere consensus   
   of fallible human opinion.

              My 28 year goal has been to make
       "true on the basis of meaning expressed in language"
       reliably computable.

              This required establishing a new foundation
