That's not deciding anything in the information-theoretical sense. We rely a lot on approximations and heuristics when it comes to day to day functioning.
You can't decide the halting problem by saying "I'll have a glance at it and go with whatever I think after thinking about it for half a second". That's not deciding the problem that's giving up on it and computers are perfectly capable of doing that.
