Perhaps I should have written "Wrongly used word," then--but it's
usually more effective to read all of a paragraph in order to understand
what is being conveyed, rather than stopping at the first word and
ignoring the rest.
And you still don't seem to acknowledge that an *emulation* is something
that *produces the same result as something it is mimicking*, rather
than just bearing a superficial resemblance.
