 That every reference to the term "simulating halt decider"
in a Google search pulls up pages and pages of me establishes
that I am the creator of the notion of a "simulating halt decider"

Ha ha ha. As if not being found by Google proves something.
My great great great great great grandfather cannot be found by Google, so he never existed. Ha ha ha. My first ancestor that is found by Google must have been a special creation. Ha ha ha.
