Given your tendency to include all quoted text in your followups, it's
remarkable that you've carefully deleted the challenge that I presented.

Here it is again:

========================================
But let me give you a simple challenge:

Write or obtain a program that, assuming unbounded memory, will halt if
and only if Goldbach's conjecture is false.  Use whatever language is
most convenient.

Apply your simulating halt decider to this program.  The result should
be either "yes, it halts" or "no, it doesn't halt".

Post here and tell us whether Goldbach's conjecture is true or false.
Show your work.

I believe you will be unable to do this.

(It's theoretically possible that someone could prove or disprove
Goldbach's conjecture without solving the halting problem.  That would
be very interesting, but I doubt that anyone here has the expertise to
do so.)
========================================

Are you able to respond to this challenge?  Will you do so?

And one more point of clarification.  You've been claiming for many
years to have refuted the proofs that the halting problem cannot be
solved.  Do you claim that you can solve the halting problem, or is your
claim merely that the existing proofs are flawed?

Can you actually solve the halting problem?
