 The first two irrelevant examples cannot halt, but they differ fundamentally from DDD, because DDD, like Finite_Recursion, halts after N repetitions.
 

*I have never explained this issue to Ben this clearly before*
Ben seems to believe that HHH must report that it need not
abort the emulation of DDD because AFTER HHH has already
aborted this emulation DDD does not need to be aborted.
