Ben proves that he agrees that the If part of the Professor
Sipser approved criteria has been met when he paraphrases
this into his own words:

*Here is the part that Ben fails to understand*
*I have never explained this issue to Ben this clearly before*

abort its emulation of DDD because AFTER HHH has already
aborted this emulation DDD does not need to be aborted.
