 That claim is fully unjustified. How do you even define "accountable"
in the context of computations, automata, and deciders?
 

int sum(int x, int y){ return x + y; }
sum(5,6) is not accountable for reporting sum(3,2).
It computes the mapping from its input to the value of their sum.
HHH must compute the mapping from its input finite string
of the x86 machine code of DDD to the behavior that this
finite string specifies and then report on the halt status
of this behavior.
The input to HHH(DDD) specifies the equivalent of infinite
recursion as fully elaborated in another reply.
