When Ben pointed out that H(P,P) reports that P(P) does not halt when
P(P) does halt this seems to be a contradiction to people that lack a
complete understanding.

Because of this I changed the semantic meaning of a return value of 0
from H to mean either
(a) that P(P) does not halt <or>
(b) P(P) specifically targets H to do the opposite of whatever Boolean
value that H returns.

When H(P,P) reports that P correctly simulated by H cannot possibly
reach its own last instruction this is an easily verified fact, thus
P(P) does not halt from the point of view of H.

When H returns 0 for input P means either that P does not halt or
P specifically targets H to do the opposite of whatever Boolean
value that H returns not even people with little understanding can
say that this is contradictory.
