D simulated by H cannot possibly reach its own
simulated final halt state.

I am not going to talk about any non-nonsense of
resuming a simulation after we already have this
final answer.

We just proved that the input to H(D) specifies
non-halting. Anything beyond this is flogging a
dead horse.

Yes; this doesn't happen while H is running.

So while H does /something/, no matter what H does,
that D simulation won't reach the return statement.
