The problem is that the N steps emulated by HHH are not, and CAN NOT be 
the "behavior of the input", but only the complete emulation of the input.

The problem with just the N steps, is that NOTHING about the input 
specifies that number N, so it isn't part of the input, and the 
"behavior of the input" must be determined by just the input (and what 
it represents).

Thus, your "argument" is based on invalid definitions, showing your 
utter stupidity.
