int D(int (*x)())
{
   int Halt_Status = H(x, x);
   if (Halt_Status)
     HERE: goto HERE;
   return Halt_Status;
}

When simulating halt decider H is applied to the conventional (otherwise
impossible) input D ordinary software engineering conclusively proves
that D correctly simulated by H cannot possibly reach its own return
statement and terminate normally (AKA halt).

A simulating halt decider H correctly predicts whether or not D
correctly simulated by H would ever reach its own final state.

The ultimate measure of a correct simulation is that the execution trace
behavior of the simulated input exactly matches the behavior that the
input machine code specifies.

Disagreeing with the above verified facts is only possible through
dishonesty or incompetence.

Whether or not the above directly applies to the halting theorem is the
only actually open issue.
