And that shows your STUPIDITY, not an error in the Theory.

No, I suspect most of the people here are smarter than that.

Turing PROVED he was right with a rigorous proof that has been examined 
by many people and no errors found.

You just admitted that you have been working under wrong definitions, 
and have no grounds to claim you understand all (or any) of what you 
talk about.

Yet, you have the gaul to claim that you must be right and everyone else 
is wrong, just after admitting that you have been wrong for most of the 
time.

But since your "reasoning" begins by making dodgy assumptions, people 
are going to reject that from the start. And then you insist that people 
start by accepting your dodgy assumptions, with a promise to prove them 
later. START by proving them, and maybe people will look at your work.

So far, everything that I have seen you present has been based on the 
idea that "Turing is wrong and I am right, and I ask you to trust me on 
by dodgy assumptions".

Since previously you point blanks said that H, as a Halt Decider was 
"Correct" as a Halt Decider to return non-halting for H(D,D) even though 
D(D) halted, and the DEFINITION of H(D,D) was to ask about the behavior 
of D(D), but "for reasons" the wrong answer was correct because D(D) 
doesn't always behave the same way when that is counter to the 
fundamental definitions of Computation Theory.

It then came out that the reason was that H never was the required 
computation (since it depended on a hidden input) so you whole proposal 
was just a lie.
