May I suggest that you reconsider your strategy of endless
repetition?
Thanks!
Rebuttals like yours are entirely baseless by failing to point
out any
mistake.
What makes you think taht Alan Mackenzie was trying to rebut what
Fred. Zwarts had said?
In other words you don't see the ad hominem attacks against
me that are listed above?
What, exactly, is wrong with what you call my "ad hominem attacks"? In >>>> most of what you write on this group you are objectively wrong,
*No as many as one person ever actually showed that*
void DDD()
{
HHH(DDD);
}
int main()
{
HHH(DDD);
}
Of the two hypothetical possible ways that HHH can be encoded:
(a) HHH(DDD) is encoded to abort its simulation at some point.
(b) HHH(DDD) is encoded to never abort its simulation.
We can know that (b) is wrong because this fails to meet the design
requirement that HHH must itself halt.
and (a) is wrong because it says that DDD doesn't halt when it does.
When the halting problem is defined as providing the halt
status of an input that does the opposite of whatever the
value to decider reports then people that are not mindless
robots programmed to disagree understand that the whole problem
must be tossed out on its ass.
Every yes/no question that has no correct yes/no answer IS WRONG !!!
It is not freaking undecidable IT IS WRONG !!!
