If simulating halt decider H correctly simulates its input D

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

 Stopping at your first error. So, we can focus on it. Your are asking a question that contradicts itself.
A correct simulation of HH that aborts itself, should simulate up to the point where the simulated HH aborts. That is logically impossible. So, either it is a correct simulation and then we see that the simulated HH aborts and returns, or the simulation is incorrect, because it assumes incorrectly that things that happen (abort) do not happen.
A premature conclusion.
 

 I have a clearer explanation now that I have gone through
all of Mikko's posts: (you must know C to understand this)
 typedef void (*ptr)(); // pointer to void function
 void HHH(ptr P, ptr I)
{
   P(I);
   return;
}
 void DDD(int (*x)())
{
   HHH(x, x);
   return;
}
 int main()
{
   HHH(DDD,DDD);
}
 In the above Neither DDD nor HHH ever reach their own return
statement thus never halt.
 When HHH is a simulating halt decider then HHH sees that

 As the code above shows, HHH is not a simulating halt decider:
(a) HHH does not simulate, (b) HHH does not decide.
Consequently, you are talking about nothing.

 Yes that is correct.

Nice to see that you agree that you are talking obout nothing.

I begin with ordinary infinite recursion.
If my reviewer does not understand that then they lack sufficient
technical competence to review my work.

I don't think you can infer so much from a failure to understand what
you are trying to say about nothing.
