I never claimed this

Well, yes and no. Virtualization (in the context of VMs) is about sharing the hardware between multiple OSes, so the statement about "virtualizing another machine" didn't even remotely make any sense. This led to my original comment, "emulation isn't virtualization."
And one small thing, it was the comment above mine, not below.

Where can I find refereces to this term that supports this statement? I looked, and found the term "software virtualization" being used to refer to containerization and programming language runtimes, but not VMs.
> While there is full-hardware virtualization
I couldn't find anything about this either.
