Why do you think it could be a self-contradiction?

It is an impossiblity for H to correctly due it, but that is why the 
Halting Problem is non-computable.

H, to be correct, needs to report on the actual behavior of the actual 
input it is given, which is the D that calls itself.

That actual behavior is determined by what that D, that calls the H that 
does exactly the same thing as the H that is claimed to be a correct 
Halt Decider does, and thus returns that same answer to D (if it returns 
an answer to anyone), and then acts on it.

This same behavior can be seen with a CORRECT and COMPLETE simulation by 
a machine that DOES a correct and complete simulation of this whole 
program (the D that calls the H that returns the supposedly correct 
answer to D, and then it acts on it) which, BY DEFINITION, will simulate 
exactly the same results as the direct execution of D.

Glad you agree that since D *WILL* halt if H returns the non-hatling 
answer, that it is wrong, even though H's partial simulation never could 
see that behavior because it happens after H aborts its simulation.
