inputs, which are just strings, don't HAVE behvior, only wht they 
rerpresent.

By DEFINITION, the inputs to a Halt Decider represent the Macine being 
asked about, and its input.

That Machine has behavior, and for these cases, it halts, so you H is 
just proved incorrect in its answer. And that you are a liar.

And no one noticed that D correctly simulated by H could have a 
different behavior, because it can't. That is just you lying to yourself 
about what is correct.

Nope. I remember looking at them when I was young, so you are just being 
the prototypical "russian" claiming you invented everything.
