That you are trying to refute my paper without even looking at my paper 
is both stupid and dishonest.

This general principle refutes conventional halting problem proofs
Every simulating halt decider that correctly simulates its input until 
it correctly predicts that this simulated input would never reach its 
final state, correctly rejects this input as non-halting.

I have no intention of reading your paper until you stop behaving
dishonestly in this forum and actually start addressing the points that
people are making.

The point that you keep reinterating is that you do not fully comprehend 
the concept of unreachble code.

When you have your halt decider fork another process so that a funcction 
called in infinite recursion can return you its caller you cheat.

Whenever a function called in infinite recursion returns to its caller 
it it wrong.
