But it is your contention that your 'decider' *only* aborts an input if 
that input would not otherwise halt. If you are forced to abort some 
instance of H you are therefore claiming that that instance does not 
halt on its input, which means that you are acknowledging that your H 
cannot decide all possible inputs. Therefore H is not a universal decider.

Moreover, when P(P) is run independently, neither the uppermost P nor 
the H inside the uppermost P are under the controller of a simulator 
since they are not being simulated. Therefore, the H inside the 
uppermost P *must* return a value to the uppermost P since there is no 
way for that H to be aborted. So which value does it return?
