You need to remove the deceptive subjunctive "would ... unless" to get
something not open to PO's dishonest re-interpretation. Whatever H
"would" do "unless" it does what it actually does is irrelevant. H(P,P)
returns 0 and P(P) halts. 0 is the wrong answer for a halting
computation.
Would the correctly simulated input ever stop running if not aborted?
This is another legitimate way of asking: Does this input halt?
Exactly. Since you are claiming that the answer to "Would the correctly simulated input ever stop running if not aborted?" is "No" and the answer to "Does this input halt?" is "Yes", it's clear you are making a mistake somewhere.

But it does'nt meet the criteria, sincd it never correctly determines
that the correct simulation of its input is non-halting.
Are you dancing round the fact that PO tricked the professor?
H(D,D) /does/ meet the criterion for PO's Other Halting problem

The correct simulation is the correct simulation who ever does it, and
since D will halt when run, the correct simulation of D will halt.
Right, but that's not the criterion that PO is using, is it? I don't
get what the problem is. Ever since the "line 15 commented out"
debacle, PO has been pulling the same trick: "D(D) only halts
because..." was one way he used to put it before finding a more tricky wording. For years, the project has simply been to find words he can

H(P,P)
returns 0 and P(P) halts. 0 is the wrong answer for a halting
computation.
Would the correctly simulated input ever stop running if not aborted?
This is another legitimate way of asking: Does this input halt?
Right, and the CORRECTLY SIMULATED input to H(D) will reach a final
state if it were not a fact that H aborted its simulation, given that
H(D) Does abort and return and answer.

Right, so unless THIS H can correct simulate the input and CORRECTLY

No, I think Dudley explicitly says not to do that. His two
recommendations are to be flattering while plainly pointing out the
error in the end result without engaging with the argument in any way. >>>> For PO that would be "I see you have thought long and hard about this

But it does'nt meet the criteria, sincd it never correctly determines
that the correct simulation of its input is non-halting.
Are you dancing round the fact that PO tricked the professor?
H(D,D) /does/ meet the criterion for PO's Other Halting problem -- the
one no one cares about. D(D) halts (so H is not halt decider), but D(D) would not halt unless H stops the simulation. H /can/ correctly
determine this silly criterion (in this one case) so H is a POOH decider (again, for this one case -- PO is not interested in the fact the POOH
is also undecidable in general).
