All of my reviewers (and Linz) always measure a different sequence of

What string must be passed to H so that H can tell us whether or not Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ halts?

This tells that a halt decider must be a decider but does not tell
how a halt decider differs from any other decider.

The last line is too vague, and there is no point in an agreement about
words without an agreement about the meaning of those words.
In particular, the word "specified" does not specify what interpretation
of the input gives the "specified" behaviour.

No, it is not a mistake. The exact meaning of "specified" is left vague. Therefore there can be different correct interpretations.

Do you understand that different sequences of configurations may have
different halting behavior from each other?
Prerequisite order is required.
What do I need to order?
When one sequence of configurations seems intuitively identical toYour opinion is noted.
another sequence then computer science says that their behavior must
be the same UNLESS INTUITION IS WRONG AND THEY ARE DIFFERENT
SEQUENCES.
It is an objectively verifiable fact, not a mere opinion.
Then there is no reason for you fear answering these two basic but key questions:
What string must be passed to H so that H can tell us whether or not Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ halts?

SEQUENCES.

You cannot possibly understand my answer to that question until after
you first understand this:
wrong.
And, seriously, what do you think could make me not understand the
answer? It's a string. How complicated it is? What you mean is that I >>> can't possibly understand /that your answer is correct/ until I take the >>> blue pill.
You cannot possibly understand my answer until after you first
understand that because the correctly simulated input to embedded_H
cannot possibly reach it own final state, that embedded_H is
necessarily correct to reject this input and nothing in the whole
universe can possibly correctly refute this.
Thanks. Keep not saying what string must be passed to H so that H can
tell us whether or not Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩
