There is no way that DDD simulated by HHH (according
to the semantics of the C programming language)
can possibly reach its own "return" statement final
halt state.

I don't say that the decider needs to simulate the input to completion, but that it needs to be able to actually PROVE that if this exact input WAS given to a correct simultor (which won't be itself, since it isn't doing the complete simulation) will run for an unbounded number of steps.

And HHH does not do that. The input specifies a halting program, because it includes the abort code. But HHH gives up before it reaches that part of the specification and the final halt state.

You have sufficiently proven that you are dishonest

That you are too F-ing stupid to see this is less
than no rebuttal at all.

That is counter-factual and you would know this
if you had good C++ skills.

 How is it "Counter-Factual"?
 It is YOU that is just counter-factual.
 

"No, that code proves that HHH, as defined,
  always aborts its simulation of DDD"
That is a false statement. If you understood the
code you would know your error.
