WRONG, you don't get to change the definition of the Problem.

You are just proving that you don't understand the nature of logic, or 
of Truth.

The Halting Problem STARTS with some arbitrary program. If that program 
can't be specified to the "decider", then the decider just fails to be 
an answer to the Halting Problem.

Otherwise, I can trivially write a "correct" halt decider by just 
defining that it can accept a very limited set of encoded programs (like 
none with backward jumps), and then I can easily decide if they will 
halt or not.

This example shows the incorrectness of YOUR (false) definition.

You just continue to prove your ignorance of the field.
