This is because you believe there is one DD which is always
the same input.

Suppose Hs is a pure simulator, and Ds is its diagonal input.

Hs(Ds) gets into non-terminating behavior: when the simulated
D37 calls Hs, that call never returns.

Therefore Ds is non-terminating. The correct value for it is 0.

Now suppose we create a different, aborting decider Ha.

If we hold the input constant, so that we are still analyzing Ds,
then we find that  Ha(Ds) returns 0, and that is correct.

What seem to be unable to absorb that <Ha, Ds> are not a diagonal pair,
so they don't matter; you cannot attack the diagonal proof by pointing
to properties of non-diagonal pairs.

Although the original Ds is correctly decided by Ha, Ds is doing its job
of showing that Hs isn't a total decider. Ha deciding Ds is irrelevant.

Witht he introduction of Ha, there now exists a /new/ case Da which is
tailored to Ha.  Da() is a halting procedure.

Ha does not correctly decide that one.  Ha(Da) returns 0.

Ds and Da are different cases. Ds looks like:

  Ds() { if Hs(Ds) loop; }

and Da looks like:

  Da() { if Ha(Da) loop; }

You are not talking about the same input.

As luck would have it, the original Hs /can/ decide the new Da!
Because Da terminates, it poses no problem to the pure simulator
Hs, which traces it to completion and returns 1.

Ha(Ds) can decide correctly (0).

Hs(Da) can also decide correctly (1).

These are not on the diagonal so they do not refute the diagonal
argument.

On the diagonal, Ha(Da) decides wrongly (0), and Hs(Ds) doesn't
terminate.
