void Px(u32 x)
{
   H(x, x);
   return;
}

int main()
{
   Output("Input_Halts = ", H((u32)Px, (u32)Px));
}

As can be seen above Olcott's H decides that Px does not halt but it is
obvious that Px should always halt if H is a valid halt decider that
always returns a decision to its caller (Px).  Olcott's H does not
return a decision to its caller (Px) and is thus invalid.
