    No it's not, because he used the actual meaning of the words and not
    your weasel-worded definitions.

    PO's actions are outrageous. It's one thing to go insulting the likes
    of me -- I was foolish enough to try to reason with him -- but dragging Professor Sipser into this nonsense is unconscionable.

    Whatever PO may now claim has been "approved", Sipser thought he was
    agreeing to some minor remark. In no way does me endorse any of PO's
    wacky ideas. PO must, at some level, know that he is dishonestly
    abusing someone kind enough to reply to what looked like an innocent technical enquiry.

    However, the result is that the search engines will now dredge you PO's garbage in association with Sipsers good name. And every post
    (including, I know, this one) strengthens this association in the search sites' algorithms.

    PO will never see sense, so the /only/ way to stop this getting worse is
    to stop replying. Please, I implore you all, don't reply to any more
    posts on this topic. Imagine if it where you. Make to day the last day
    you take any PO post seriously.


    *Professor Sipser has agreed to these verbatim words* (*and no more*)
    If simulating halt decider H correctly simulates its input D until H
    correctly determines that its simulated D would never stop running
    unless aborted then H can abort its simulation of D and correctly report
    that D specifies a non-halting sequence of configurations.

    H /can/ correctly determine this silly criterion
    (in this one case)...
