Ad that ONE criteria is the actual criteria for a machine halt, BY 
DEFINITOIN.

And a FALSE theorem based on a FALSE premsie is jus FALSE.

Nope, H does NOT correctly predict what its correct prediction would do, 
since it doesn't do what it is predicted to do.

You are just proving your insanity.

Nope, which also shows your stupidity.

How does your idea handle the Busy Beaver issue?
