The problem is that every one of those emulation is of a *DIFFERENT* input, so they don't prove anything together except that each one didn't go far enough.

When each HHH correctly emulates 0 to infinity steps of
its corresponding DDD and none of them reach the "return"
halt state of DDD then even the one that emulated infinite
steps of DDD did not emulate enough steps?

Right, but for every other HHH, which the ones that answer are, it isn't a fact.

A complete emulation is after all of the instructions have been

No, that is not what the words mean. A complete emulation is one that is
continued as long as it can be continued. THe emulation is completed when
all of its instructions are executed. A complete emulaton  that can be
continues forever is complete but never completed.

That is incorrect. A completed task is a task where
there are no more steps to be accomplished.

 That you agree does not mean that I was wrong (though it certainly
means that I should check one more time, and I did, and found some
typos but no substantial error).

A completed task is one that reaches its halt state.
void Infinite_Recursion()
{
   Infinite_Recursion();
   return;
}
void DDD()
{
   HHH(DDD);
   return;
}
int main()
{
   HHH(Infinite_Recursion);
   HHH(DDD);
}
Neither Infinite_Recursion nor DDD simulated by HHH
according to the semantics of the x86 language can
possibly reach their own halt state of "return" thus
can never be completed tasks.
