If simulating halt decider H correctly simulates its input D
until H correctly determines that its simulated D would never
stop running unless aborted then
H can abort its simulation of D and correctly report that D
specifies a non-halting sequence of configurations.

*Try to show how this DD correctly simulated by any HH ever*
*stops running without having its simulation aborted by HH*

Olcott has proven himself that HH reports false negatives, with the following example:
typedef int (*ptr)(); // ptr is pointer to int function in C
int H(ptr p, ptr i);
int main()
{
return H(main, 0);
}
He proved that main halts and that H reports non-halting.
So, it should be no surprise that he finds other false negatives, like DD here.
Already earlier he claimed that his decider does not decide not about reality (the direct execution), but about its own decision process (the simulation). Another reason to expect false negatives. This makes his decider very uninteresting. Who wants to know whether a decider decides that its own process is correct? This is trivially correct. Just like the sentence "This sentence is true.": it might be true, but it is not informative.
