You've hit the nail on the head, there.  Peter Olcott doesn't show
respect here for anybody.  Because of this he isn't shown any respect
back - he hasn't earned any.  I don't think he understands the concept
of respect any more than he understands the concept of truth.

If he were to show repect, he'd repect knowledge, truth, and learning,

a large part of what makes it such a waste of time trying to correct
him, something that you've sensibly given up.

How is the "pattern" that HHH detects a non-halting pattern, when non- halting is DEFINED by the behavior of the directly executed machine, and the pattern you are thinking of exists in the execution of the DDD that halts because it was built on the same HHH you claim is correct to return 0,

 I only defined the hypothetical possibility of a simulating
termination analyzer. This cannot possibly be a lie. They
figured out all the rest on their own.

No, you stated that it DOES something that it doesn't.
Also, you imply that your "input" isn't the input that actually needs to be given, as without the code of the specific HHH that this DDD calls, no Simulating Halt Decider could do the simulation that you talk about.
It should be noted that it is a well known property of Artifical Intelegence, and in particular, Large Languge Models, are built not to give a "correct" answer, but an answer the user will like. And thus they will pick up on the subtle clues of how things are worded to give the responce that seems to be desired, even if it is just wrong.
When you add to the input the actual definition of "Non-Halting", as being that the exectuion of the program or its complete simulation will NEVER halt, even if carried out to an unbounded number of steps, they will give a different answer.
If you disagree with that definition, then you are admitting that you don't know the meaning of the terms-of-art of the system, but are just admitting to being the lying bastard that you are.

 

All you are doing is showing you don't understand how Artificiial Intelegence actualy works, showing your Natural Stupidity.

 That they provided all of the reasoning why DDD correctly
simulated by HHH does not halt proves that they do have
the functional equivalent of human understanding.

But the problem is that your HHH that answers doesn't do a correct simulation.
Yes, if *THE* HHH is one that correctly simulates the input (that has been fixed to include the code of HHH) then that simulation will not halt and be non-halting, but that HHH never answers.
Since that input included the code for the HHH that doesn't abort, it isn't the input that any of your HHHs that do abort has been given.
Thus, the reason you need to LIE about what the input is.

 That everyone here denies what every first year CS student
would understand seems to prove that they know that they
are liars.
 

The problem is that a first year CS Student would see your mistake. (or would be destined to fail out of the program).
Your use of arguments like that is what shows that you don't understand
