Olcott's major malfunction as far as the Halting Problem is concerned is
his inability to recognise the difference between (and/or his conflation
of) *execution* with *computation*.

Are you aware that Olcott wants to win a Nobel Prize in Computing before
he dies of cancer?

He's been telling everyone for at least 10 years that his cancer is at
an advanced stage, yet he's still alive and posting his nonsense on
these newsgroups, and you guys are falling for it.

Just killfile him and we won't have any of his nonsense here.

Please don't feed Pete Olcott.

Is his work anything akin to the following?
