You've got a strange view of things, indeed.  Think of this theorem as
something like division by zero.  Nobody goes around moaning about how
the inability to divide by zero restricts the software he can write.

Don't be impertinent.  What I wrote is true, and I meant it.

You would like to believe in magic.  You don't complain about the
existence of gravity causing people to fall and hurt themselves.  Or
maybe you do, one just can't tell with some people.

Where "learned-by-rote people" means people more learned that Peter
Olcott.  It's a crude and nasty insult, and you would do better to stop
using it.  I think you'll find (or have found) that mathematical logic is
such a difficult topic, that learning without understanding is not
possible.

In the topic at hand there is no self-contradiction.  It's just that you
personally have unreasonable expectations about mathematical systems.
There is no universal halt decider, just as there's no division by zero.
That's all there is to it.

That's an extravagant claim, without basis.  What we have is somebody
without a clue challenging the mathematical basis of truth.  That is
bound to end in disappointment.
