You still sound like Richard Damon whom is unable to
understand that semantic tautologies are irrefutable.

 That a false claim about one person is similar to a false
claim about another is not suffecent ro conclude or even
sustpect that they are the same. A better measure is how meny
indignificant typos each makes.

 Quite so.
 And while we're on the subject of semantics, the OP seems unaware that he can't use stipulative definitions to define away the difficult parts of a problem. At best, he can stipulatively define a /new/ problem, but by redefining terms he steps away from the original problem. He can argue till he's blue in the face about the Olcott Problem, but he is no longer saying anything meaningful about the Halting Problem or the Linz proof thereof.

He has moved away from the orignal problems long ago. What "every
sufficiently competent C programmer knows" is fairly uninteresting
and irrelevant to the original problems.
