   Not at all. I simply force the reader to have the   
   same frame-of-reference as the halt decider with   
   the input that does the opposite of whatever answer   
   the reader provides.   
      
   21 years ago I proved that the counter-example   
   input is nothing more that a yes/no question   
   where both yes and no are the wrong answer.   
   The halting problem itself is merely an incorrect   
   question (for some inputs).

              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
