This is my 2004 work that proposes that the halting problem has
an unsatisfiable specification thus asks an ill-formed question.
Two PhD computer science professors agree with this analysis.

http://al.howardknight.net/?STYPE=msgid&MSGI=%3CkZiBc.103407%24Gx4.18142%40bgtnsc04-news.ops.worldnet.att.net%3E+ An incorrect YES/NO (thus polar) question is defined as any
YES/NO question where both YES and NO are the wrong answer.
Correctly answering incorrect questions is logically impossible.
Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hq0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hqy ∞ // Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ halts
Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hq0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.Hqn   // Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ does not halt

Because for every implementation of Ĥ.H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ that can
possibly exist both YES and NO are the wrong answer to
this question: Does Ĥ ⟨Ĥ⟩ halts on its input?
This exactly meets the definition of an incorrect YES/NO
question for this decider/input pair: Ĥ.H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩
It is generally the case that the inability to do the
logically impossible places no actual limit on anything
or anyone otherwise CAD systems that cannot correctly
draw square circles would be another limit to computation.
The common fake rebuttal to this claim is to use the
strawman deception to switch to some other decider/input
pair besides Ĥ.H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ to deceptively try to show that
the question is not incorrect on the basis of some other
different question.
