Not at all. Not in the least little bit.
A halt decider must PREDICT what its input would do.
Professor Sipser recognized this as inherently correct.

Introduction to the Theory of Computation, by Michael Sipser
https://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Theory-Computation-Michael-Sipser/dp/113318779X/

He is the #1 best selling author of textbooks on computation
theory. Ben did contact him to verify that he did say this.

<MIT Professor Sipser agreed to ONLY these verbatim words 10/13/2022>
     If simulating halt decider H correctly simulates its input D
     until H correctly determines that its simulated D would never
     stop running unless aborted then

     H can abort its simulation of D and correctly report that D
     specifies a non-halting sequence of configurations.
</MIT Professor Sipser agreed to ONLY these verbatim words 10/13/2022>

Ben also agreed that D correctly simulated by H DOES MEET THIS CRITERIA.
