We don't really know what context Sipser was given.  I got in touch
at the time so I do know he had enough context to know that PO's
ideas were "wacky" and that had agreed to what he considered a "minor
remark". Since PO considers his words finely crafted and key to his
so-called work I think it's clear that Sipser did not take the "minor
remark" he agreed to to mean what PO takes it to mean!  My own take
if that he (Sipser) read it as a general remark about how to
determine some cases, i.e. that D names an input that H can partially
simulate to determine it's halting or otherwise.  We all know or
could construct some such cases.

Exactly my reading.  It makes Sipser's agreement natural, because it
is both correct [with sensible interpretation of terms], and moreover
describes an obvious strategy that a partial decider might use that
can decide halting for some specific cases.  No need for Sipser to be
deceptive or misleading here, when the truth suffices.  (In particular
no need to employ "tricksy" vacuous truth get out clauses just to get
PO off his back as some have suggested.)

Yes, and it fits with his thinking it a "trivial remark".

That aside, it's such an odd way to present an argument: "I managed to
trick X into saying 'yes' to something vague".  In any reasonable
collegiate exchange you'd go back and check: "So even when D is
constructed from H, H can return based on what /would/ happen if H did
not stop simulating so that H(D,D) == false is correct even though D(D)
halts?".  Just imagine what Sipser would say to that!

Is this an accurate phrasing, pete?

Why not? A decider always either accepts or rejects its input.

When a TM takes its own machine description as input

Now you contradict what you said above. You said that deciders never

Although deciders cannot possibly see their own behavior

Now you are saying that they do in a way that might not be

No, the behaviour specified by the finite string does not change when a simulator decides to do the simulation only halfway. It is just an incorrect simulation.

If two people are hungry and one of them eats, the other one is still hungry and needs to eat. It is stupid to say that they are no longer hungry because they have eaten.
Similarly the simulating HHH is not longer hungry, but the simulated HHH still is hungry and has not yet eaten.

And the simulator should also simulate until it sees the behaviour of after the simulated HHH has aborted its simulator.

No evidence for this ad hominem attack. So, my claim still stands.

 You have given more than enough evidence.
 

When I correct a false assumption many times and the
person insists on keeping the false assumption then
they are stupid or dishonest.
Halting is reaching a final halt state thus the
fact that HHH halts has not one damn thing to do
with whether DDD halts or not.
Fred is either too stupid or too dishonest to get this.
