Sure when you make sure to totally ignore crucial
words

The crucial words - *so* crucial that you keep on repeating them - are 'Anyone who knows C'.
You don't.

then by using the strawman error on these dishonestly
changed words they are easy to rebut.

I didn't change your words; I just rebutted them.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man

"A straw man fallacy (sometimes written as strawman) is the informal fallacy of refuting an argument different from the one actually under discussion."
When you said "Anyone who knows C" (as you have said very often), you yourself opened the discussion.
If you don't want people to attack your woeful understanding if the language, don't make the claim that you know the language.

On the other hand when honest C programmers see
those words they will think of something like a C
interpreter written in C is doing the simulation.

If you are claiming to have written a C interpreter, that's a huge claim without any evidence whatsoever to support it.
