And some inputs can be deduced to be impossible to satisfy.

It is also wrong to require sum() to accurately report the sum 
for all inputs. Given code of int sum(int x, int y) { return x + 
y; } sum(INT_MAX, INT_MAX) will get the answer wrong because + 
can't do what is expected of it.

In such circumstances, the C standard simply refuses to specify 
what will happen and adopts a `que sera, sera' attitude --- can't 
take a joke, shouldn't have joined.

The Halting Problem is slightly different. It proposes a specific 
computation, a universal computation halting decider (call it H), 
but in doing so demonstrates that with a single flip of H's 
logical tail it produces a computation that simply can't be 
computed. There can be no H.

Mr Olcott's response to this appears to be that we should allow H 
to set aside impossible inputs in the pursuit of some kind of 
meaningful answer.

What he fails to notice is that it isn't necessary to set 
impossible inputs aside. Why not? Because they're impossible.

There is no need for H to cope with itself as input for the 
excellent reason that H cannot be written.

As dbush rightly points out:

Given any algorithm (i.e. a fixed immutable sequence of
instructions) X described as <X> with input Y:

A solution to the halting problem is an algorithm H that computes 
the following mapping:

(<X>,Y) maps to 1 if and only if X(Y) halts when executed directly
(<X>,Y) maps to 0 if and only if X(Y) does not halt when
  executed directly

It has been known for 90 years that such a solution is 
impossible. Attempting to dodge round this fact is as fruitless 
as trying to construct a square with the same area as a given 
circle by using only a finite number of steps with compass and 
straightedge.

Of course, that doesn't stop people trying. We have a name for 
such people.
