Pathological Input to a halt decider is defined as any input that was 
defined to do the opposite of whatever its corresponding halt decider 
decides.

This question can only be correctly answered after the pathology has 
been removed. When a halt decider only acts as a pure simulator of its 
input until after its halt status decision is made there is no feedback 
loop of back channel communication between the halt decider and its 
input that can prevent a correct halt status decision.
