So?

How does that make the question self-contradictory?

For any D defined (which first requires H to be fully defined) the 
behavior of D(D) is precisely defined, so no self-contradiction to the 
quesiton of "Does the machine described by this input Halt?"

Where is the ACTUAL contradiction to that answer. Remember, at the point 
the question can be ask, H needs to be a DEFINED program, not just some 
nebulous concept of how to do it.

Which isn't the criteria, so you are just admitting that you have been 
lying for years about what you are doing.

Only an Idiot or a Pathological Liar thinks they can change the question 
and still be working on the original problem.

No, it proves that H can not simulate D to its final instruction.

D reaches that final instruction just fine.

You can't seem to tell the difference between REALITY (the actual 
execution of the machine) and FANTASY (the partial simulation of the 
input done by H).

This just shows your lack of understanding of how things actually work.

But doesn't match ALL input, so it is a LIE to say it is equivalent.

SO, H needs to return BOTH 0 and 1 for this criteria, which is 
self-contradictory, so the criteria is invalid. PERIOD.

Maybe to the best of your knowledge, but you work it total garbage and 
the actually useful ideas that you are using are quite old. The fact you 
don't know about them just shows your ignorance.
