Right, but P includes its COPY of H. YOU failed to maintain the line of
demarcation by having P call the same H that is deciding it, in
violation of the requirements. (Read the proof)

Thus, you can't blame the line of demarcation.

Your fundamental problem is you totally don't understand what the
problem is about, because you decided that you needed to remain ignorant
of the field to avoid being "brain-washed" by it.

THat means you just totally fail to understand what you are talking about.

You have wasted the last 18 years of your life becaue of this
self-imposed ignorance and have buried your reputation under the pile of
idiotic lies because you just don't understand the words you are saying.

FAIL.
