Mind you it does seem to have gone mad the last month or so.  It seems there are only about 2 or 3 actual variations of what PO is saying and all the rest is several thousand repeats by both PO and responders...

Those who insist on responding to Olcott (of which I admit I have occasionally been one despite my better intuitions) would be well advised to adopt something like the rule of ko (in the game go) which prohibits one from returning to the exact same position. Simply repeating the same objection after olcott has ignored it is pointless. If he didn't get the objection the fiftieth time he's not going to get it the fifty-first time either.

 The actual reasoning why HHH is supposed to report
on the behavior of the direct execution of DD()
instead of the actual behavior that the finite
string of DD specifies:

Quite simply, it's the behavior of the direct execution that we want to know about.
The behavior of "HHH simulated by DD" is just not something that anyone cares about.
An H that tells us if any algorithm X with input Y can solve the Goldbach conjecture and make unknowable truths knowable.
An H that tell us if "H simulated by DD" halts doesn't tell us that.
