If it correctly simulates infinitely many steps, it doesn't terminate.
Look up "infinite".

That statement is stupidly false.

But your task is to decide for /any/ program, not just DDD.

No you have this WRONG.
My WHOLE effort has been to correctly determine the halt status of the
conventional halting problem proof's "impossible" input.

This by itself is better than anyone else has ever done with this proof
since it was first presented 89 years ago.
