When I correct a false assumption many times and the
person insists on keeping the false assumption then
they are stupid or dishonest.

Halting is reaching a final halt state thus the
fact that HHH halts has not one damn thing to do
with whether DDD halts or not.

Fred is either too stupid or too dishonest to get this.
