Can D simulated by H terminate normally?

Moshe Y. Vardi the former editor in chief of the CACM
How about now, armed with your quote?
"the debugger doesn't tell me anything because this code compiles just fine" - random QA comment "Facebook is where you tell lies to your friends. Twitter is where you tell the truth to strangers." - chriselst "I don't drink any more... then again, I don't drink any less." - Mike Mullikins uncle

He has already made up his mind and closed it. I really shouldn't even need that quote. Anyone with at least a BSCS can verify that it is necessarily true. The technical term for a statement that is necessarily true is tautology.

Who's 'he', the current editor? Look, if your stated aim to publish there (CAMC), then concentrate your efforts there. It doesn't seem as though 'here' is getting you anywhere.

I generally get the same response that I am getting here. Everyone is so sure that I must be wrong that they don't bother to look at a single word that I have said and simply vote me down until the post is deleted. Any BSCS graduate taking five minutes to examine my code can see that D correctly simulated by H cannot possibly terminate normally because it remains stuck in recursive simulation. That by itself should be enough to pique their interest in looking at the additional details. Because my writing style is not even close the the writing style of a published PhD researcher what I say is almost always rejected out-of-hand without review of the substance of what I have said.

For some reason I doubt that. What would happen if everyone here agreed with your conclusion?

If everyone here agreed that page three of this paper is correct and they sincerely meant this, then I would know that I have finally made my point clear enough and I would submit page three to letters to the editor of CACM. Simulating (partial) Halt Deciders Defeat the Halting Problem Proofs I might have to come up with a much less controversial title such as: Simple Termination analysis between executing C functions.

Probably not going to happen here, so just cut to the chase. Change the title and submit, possibly adding that professors name somehow in the title.

In other words you too are not going to bother to take five minutes and verify that D correctly simulated by H cannot possibly terminate normally because it remains stuck in recursive simulation.
You are correct.

The objective facts prove that I am correct thus superseding all opinions to the contrary. I really hope that you don't feel this same way about climate change.
I claimed nothing about your conclusions one way or another.

You can't force people to care, that's the truth.
