There is no way that DDD simulated by HHH (according
to the semantics of the C programming language)
can possibly reach its own "return" statement final
halt state.

I don't say that the decider needs to simulate the input to completion, but that it needs to be able to actually PROVE that if this exact input WAS given to a correct simultor (which won't be itself, since it isn't doing the complete simulation) will run for an unbounded number of steps.

 Sure it is, there isn't a "law" that prohibits wrong answer, it just makes it not correct.
 

Sure in the same way that reporting the square root
of a rotten egg is incorrect.

And, since the input to a halt decider is supposed to be a representation/description (as a term-of-art word) of a Turing Machine, and the behavior that this input specifies is defined as the behavior of directly running that machine,

That has always been incorrect.

you claim is really that that the ONLY thing that HHH is ALLOWED to answer about is that direct execution, which you also are trying to claim it doesn't need to.
 So, you are just showing that you are just a liar and have created a fantasy world which you are trying to live in full of your own self- contradictions, but divorced from the actual rules of the world.
 

You have never even found an actual single mistake.

This is just your manifistions of your insanity,
 

Most people here don't get that because they have no
actual depth of understanding. They can only parrot
the words of textbooks.

 Better to parrot truth then to be imaginatively telling lies (and your aren't even being very imaginative any more).

Everything that I said is a verified fact.
Every rebuttal has been counter-factual at best.
That you don't seem to even understand what recursion
is proves that you are insufficiently competent.
