The novel concept of a simulating halt decider enables C function H to 
correctly determine the halt status of C function D that implements the 
halting theorem's "impossible" input. When D is correctly simulated by H 
it remains stuck in recursive simulation until H aborts this simulation. 
D cannot do the opposite of the return value from H because this return 
value is unreachable by every simulated D. This same result is derived 
in Turing machine based proofs.
