Everyone else here seems to have no deeper understanding than
learn-by-rote from CS textbook.

 

I wonder what difference you see in him?

 I think it's just because occasionally I make some statement that PO interprets as supporting him. He is desparate for ANYONE to NOT say that every single thing he says is false.  Also there is probably an element of PO just trying to goad me into posting again, although I can't see what he hopes to gain from that.
 For the record, I don't agree with any of PO's arguments or wider conclusions about "refuting" anything.  The sort of post I've made that gets PO exited is where I've said that one plausible interpretation of one detailed point he said is correct.  (Gasp!  But that shouldn't really be shocking - after all, even a stopped clock is right twice a day!  :))
 Also, I don't consider any of those conclusions would be remotely contentious from the perspective of anyone else posting here.  I would expect they would all agree with the conclusion
/given the interpretation I set out/,

Sadly that is not true.

and moreover would /always/ have agreed to it had PO expressed it clearly that way from the start.
 

That is also untrue.
*Here is the clearest way that I have ever said it*
void DDD()
{
   HHH(DDD);
   return;
}
When HHH is an x86 emulation based termination analyzer
then each DDD emulated by any HHH that it calls never returns.
Each of the directly executed HHH emulator/analyzers that returns
0 correctly reports the above non-terminating behavior of its input.
*Fully operational code is here*
