It is always correct for any simulating termination
analyzer to stop simulating and reject any input that
would otherwise prevent its own termination.

In this case there is nothing to prevent, because the finite string specifies a program that halts.

This stuff is simply over-your-head.
HHH(DD) meets the above: *Simulating termination analyzer Principle*
Anyone with sufficient competence with the C programming language
will understand this.

Everyone with a little bit of C knowledge understands that if HHH returns with a value 0, then DDD halts.

If HHH would correctly simulate DD (and the functions called by DD) then the simulated HHH would return to DD and DD would halt.

Simply over your level of technical competence.

But HHH failed to complete the simulation of the halting program,

HHH is only required to report on the behavior of its
own correct simulation (meaning the according to the
semantics of the C programming language) and would be
incorrect to report on any other behavior.

because the programmer was dreaming of an infinite recursion.
 If I didn't have to tell you this hundreds of times and you didn't
persist in the straw-man deception I would not have called you a nitwit.
 

I really think that you may simply be a troll playing head games.
