When it is understood that HHH does simulate itself simulating DDD
then any first year CS student knows that when each of the above are
correctly simulated by HHH that none of them ever stop running
unless aborted.

Since that code aborts its simulation to return the answer that you
claim, you are just lying that it did a correct simulation (which in
this context means complete)

How about the fact that if they abort, they never did a correct
simulation,

(a) None of the functions ever stops running.
(b) Each of the above functions stops running anyway.

 You need to be clear that you are not making a claim about general
undecidability but a claim about the SPECIFIC CASE of pathological self
reference present in the classic Halting Problem definition .. the trolls
here (especially Damon and Mikko) like to ignore that you are doing that.

Yes that is what I am doing here.
If my reviewers would not dishonestly change the
subject as the basis of their rebuttal they would
know that I am correct.
