False.  They must always hypothesize what the behavior of algorithm described by the input would be if it was executed directly, as per the requirements:

There is no requirement that building a termination analyzer, simulating or otherwise, is possible.  In fact, it has proved to not be possible by Linz and others, which you have *explicitly* agreed with.

 A simulating termination analyzer(STA) reports on
the behavior of the direct execution of the
algorithm specified by its input except in the
case where the input calls this STA to try to fool it.

And where does that clause come from?
Your perverted mind?
After all, that is the mind that said it was ok to have kiddie porn because it was "God". (as has been reported in the news).

 What you are proposing would cause HHH to get stuck
in infinite execution. How is getting stuck in
infinite execution better than not getting stuck?
 

But it is the decider responsibility to both give an answer, and have it right, if it can't do both, it just isn't correct.
