This specifies that when DDD is correctly simulated by HHH
calls emulated HHH(DDD) that this call cannot return.

 Yes. This shows that the simulation is incorrect.

 Similarly, HHH cannot possibly simulate itself correctly, no matter how much you want it to be correct,

Where correct is understood to be what-ever-the-Hell that the
machine code of DDD specifies within the semantics of the x86
language then:
When DDD is correctly simulated by any pure function x86 emulator
HHH that aborts its emulation at some point calls HHH(DDD) then
it is correctly understood that this call cannot possibly return.
The proof of this is something like mathematical induction.
When DDD is correctly emulated by any HHH that aborts
its emulation after N repetitions:
(1) DDD is correctly emulated by HHH
(2) that calls an emulated HHH(DDD) that
(3) emulates another DDD... goto (2) or abort
Correct is certainly not screwball misconceptions that contradict
the above.
