Yes, we see. In fact DDD is not needed at all.
In the following program

        int main() {
          return HHH(main);
        }

HHH cannot possibly simulate itself up to the end of itself. Still HHH 
halts, which proves that there is an end. The only conclusion is, that 
the simulation is incomplete and therefore incorrect.
Further it is incorrect to think that the fact that the simulation halts 
too soon is an indication for non-halting behaviour. The analysis of 
that 'special condition' is the real problem, not the partial incorrect 
simulation.
