Nobody claims it. It is just your dream. When the last M steps of a halting DDD are skipped, one can only say that it is a correct simulation when one is a liar.

It is just your dream. When a correct and complete simulation of HHH by itself is not possible even when HHH halts, then it is pretty stupid to insist that a correct simulation of halting program shows that it does not halt. That is the reality. Dreams are no substitute for fact, not for logic.
