Does it really matter? If he falsely pretends to be a moron or a liar
I may politely pretend to believe.

Entirely personally, I see no reason to do so in any case.  He is quite
often impolite in response to being called a "stupid liar" or similar,
but that's understandable.  He is no worse than many a student in terms
of what he comprehends;  his fault lies in [apparently] believing that he
has a unique insight.

 When what I say is viewed within the perspective of
the philosophy of computation I do have new insight.
 When what I say is viewed within the assumption that
the current received view of the theory of computation
is inherently infallible then what I say can only be
viewed as incorrect.

So, are you willing to state that you are admitting that nothing you might come up with has any bearing on the original halting problem because you are working in a new framework?

 

I have no reason to believe that he lies [versus
being profoundly mistaken];  YMMV.  His real problem is that he cannot
[or will not] resist responding to any article here, very probably inc
this one.  He is apparently not alone, which is what generates the flood
of articles.  There is a simple way to avoid that.
