Right, and then it returns the non-halting answer to P(0) which then
Halts, showing that All these P will halt, and thus H(1) was incorrect
in deciding that P(2) was non-Halting.

If you want to claim that H(1) doesn't return its answer to P(0) then
when it is H(0) it also won't return its answer to main (or it has
proved itself not to be a computation) and thus it proves itself to not
be a decider.

This PROVES that H(1) made an error in deciding that P(2) was
non-halting, and the reason it made the error is that it negected to
consider that H(3) would ALSO abort its simulation of P(4), and thus
made an error in its logic.
