Your argument does not follow and is an illogical extension. I simply prove that it has a while-loop that won't terminate and use permutations to prove that. The logic proof is valid because I found an instance of the input that would cause it to not terminate.

You can't then extend my argument to mean that all functions should not be called. All functions with unterminated while-loops shouldn't be called, but not all functions.
