A self modifying TM is merely a TM description that is

tape.

 No, it is not.

I invented it thus that is the specification of my invention.

A TM description describes a TM that does not change itself.

X is not typically understood to do Y therefore it is
impossible for X to do Y is incorrect reasoning.

If it is executed as self-modifying that exectuion is not simulation, as
a simulation does not do what the simulated does not do. A simulator that
simulates a self-modifying automaton is not an UTM.
 

That you fail to understand that an emulated x86 program can
modify itself to change its own behavior as long as it knows
its own machine address is merely ignorance on your part.
When a simulated Turing Machine Description is provided
access to itself on the UTM tape it can do the same thing.
Rigid minded people incorrectly conflate unconventional
for impossible.
