No, he is right that when we run H(H^,H^) that this H isn't 'required'
to run its simulation far enough to see that H^(H^) call H*H^,H^) and
then see that simulated H return an answer. Of course, not getting
enough information makes it hard to predict what the behavior will be.

What he keeps on doing is ignore that it aborting the simulation doens't
change the behavior of the machine being simulated, which when we run
H^(H^) as an actual machine shows that H^(H^) will call H*H^,H^) which
will return the non-halting answer, and then H^ halts, showing that the
simulation, if allowed to run, would have done the same thing, and thus
the 'Proof' that H^(H^) will never halt must be flawed.
