Why?

DDD doesn't do anything interesting.

If it were a universal halt decider we'd have a reason to care, 
because its very existence would overturn pretty much the whole 
of computability theory and enable us to clean up many of the 
unsolved problems of mathematics.

But it /isn't/ a universal halt decider, so who (apart from Mr 
Olcott) gives a damn whether it stops? About the only reason I 
can think of for caring is to set Mr Olcott straight, but he has 
made it abundantly clear that he's unsettable straightable.
