P(P) halts.  You agree with (a).  Not surprising since you've told us
P(P) halts many times.

So you agree with (b) that H(P, P) == 0.  Again, not really news as
you've said it before.

So you disagree that H(P, I) == 0 is only correct if P(I) does not halt,
i.e. you disagree with the basic fact of what a halt decider is.  Again,
not surprising you've ducked and dived and squirmed and wriggled to
avoid agreeing to this simple of the problem.

This is just simple dishonesty.  You keep quoting Linz so you know what
a halt decider should do.  You once claimed to have an H "exactly and
precisely as in Linz" (we'll never see that TM will we?).  When you post
those lines from Linz you don't say "but this is wrong, H can reject
some halting computations".  You disingenuously present them as the
definition of a halt decider with which you tacitly agree.

And it's not just when you quote Linz that you are being disingenuous.
I once presented a challenge with exactly the above notion of what a
halt decider is.  Did you say "I disagree that H(P, I) == 0 is only
correct if P(I) does not halt"?  No, you just waffled and then pretended
to meet the challenge by posting a code sketch for a function called
Halts that got the answer wrong.  I think you've know for ages that you
must hide the fact that you are not talking about proper halting.

You must know by now that you have nothing -- just a
function/TM/algorithm that does not meet the basic definition of being a
halt decider.  How many years have you wasted to get this
not-a-halt-decider?
