No, it is not. The question which a halt decider is supposed to answer 
about input (P, P) is *does P(P) halt*. (or int main { P(P); } as you 
insist on more verbosely expressing it for some mysterious reason)

We KNOW what the answer to that question is.

No amount of traces or arguments on your part can possibly justify the 
claim that H(P, P) == 0 is correct given that we *know* what the answer 
to this question is based on the behaviour of P(P).

Given the definition of the halting problem, the actual behaviour of 
P(P) is the ultimate authority on the answer to this question. The 
actual behaviour of P(P) is the *only* thing that matters in 
establishing the correct answer to this question.

Even if the logical flaws in your traces and arguments weren't apparent 
(They are and have been pointed out to you) it WOULDN'T MATTER. When a 
'decider' gives an answer that contradicts the ACTUAL answer then the 
decider is wrong.

AFAICT your argument runs as follows:

(1) We know that P(P) halts.
(2) My decider H determines P(P) doesn't halt.
(3) My decider must be right because I say so. I even have traces.
(4) Therefore P(P) must not "really" halt even though it does.
     Therefore it "wrongly" halts.

Let's see how well that goes over with peer reviewers.
