 We cannot possibly get to how that is relevant to the
problem UNTIL AFTER YOU FIRST ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS TRUE.

It's irrelevant because it's not the question.
I want to know if any arbitrary X with input Y will halt when executed directly.
It would be very helpful to me if I had an H that could tell me that in ALL possible cases.
Your HHH does not do that for me.
