Bing a pathological liar seems to have made you lose your sense of what
is true.

While H^ applied to <H^> IS a different computation then H applied to
<H^> <H^> the former uses the latter to determine its behavior.

The issue isn't a 'contradiction' between the behavior of the two
machines but the contradiction between the behavior of these two
machines and the concept that H is correct.

Again, you pathological lying has blinded you to the actual fact.

H/embedded_H IS responsible for its answer match the the ACTUAL
'Behavior of its input', which is DEFINED as the behavior of the ACTUAL
MACHINE the input represents. Thus the behavior of the input <H^> <H^>
IS the behavior of H^ applied to <H^>, and NOT your mistaken idea that
it is the behavior

Right, but he is failing at his job since the DEFINITION of the Job of H
is that H <H^> <H^> is to report on the behavior of H^ applied to <H^>,
so your argument is that the guard isn't supposed to do the job that he
was actually hired to do.

This just shows that you are not working on the Halting Problem, since
you keep on insisting that the thing you need to be deciding on is
different the the actual Halting Problem requires. You are just talking
about POOP.

WRONG, it is REQUIRED to report on the behvior of its input, and for the
input <H^> <H^> that is the behavior of H^ applied to <H^>, so if it
isn't then it isn't really a Halt Decider.

And 'Never learned the Facts' people don't know what they are talking
about. The fact that you show ZERO understanding of the actual
principles of the field are totally obvious.

Have you asked one? I think you are mistaken, and YOU are the one with
the misconceptions.

Maybe you can find one and have them explain to you your errors, if they
will put up with your ignorance.
