Not sure what you mean by "the machines were real." I wasn't suggesting that the IBM PC never existed. I was acknowledging that there are varying 'levels' of emulation. This one requires ROMs.
The way you wrote it made it seem like you thought the program wasn't an emulator or that the machines it emulated weren't real. So you quoted it for emphasis. That's why I asserted that it was by writing that the machines it emulated were real.
Follow up: I couldn't figure out exactly why this bugged me so I looked up and found this grammar rule around quoting.

Unfortunately the program needs ROM files (not supplied) for most (all?) of what it ‘emulates’.
oh btw Sarah posted this on vogons some time ago

I don't imagine Sarah wants to work on PCEm any more, but it would be good if we could show support somehow.

Be aware of prescriptivism vs. descriptivism in your research.
I’m done belaboring this. Have a nice day.

There needs to be accountability for the people doing this, it's completely despicable behaviour.
