The global trace table does not record the simulation level for an entry, so the matching process is agnostic when it comes to simulation levels.   Also note there are many conditional branch instructions in HHH which would prevent matches occuring if we were to include HHH instructions in the examined trace!

When we go by the exact meaning of the words
he agreed to as the measure then I am correct.

 But not by the way he and everyone else understood them,

This post is only about the fact that HHH does
