The above template refers to an infinite set of H/D pairs where D is
correctly simulated by either pure simulator H or pure function H. This
was done because many reviewers used the shell game ploy to endlessly
switch which H/D pair was being referred to.
*Correct Simulation Defined*
    This is provided because many reviewers had a different notion of
    correct simulation that diverges from this notion.
    A simulator is an x86 emulator that correctly emulates 1 to N of the
    x86 instructions of D in the order specified by the x86 instructions
    of D. This may include M recursive emulations of H emulating itself
    emulating D.
When we see that D correctly simulated by pure simulator H would remain
stuck in infinite recursive simulation then we also know that less than
an infinite number of steps is not enough steps for D correctly
simulated by pure function H to reach its own simulated final state at
line 06 and halt.

But the D that was non-halting was a DIFFERENT D then the one simulated by the finite stepping simulator, so the answers don't apply.

I must continue to improve the clarity of words to the point
that *INTENTIONAL MISINTERPRETATION* looks utterly ridiculous.
*The dishonest dodge strawman deception CHANGE-THE-SUBJECT*
*fake rebuttal already looks utterly ridiculous*
