Why not just address that critique of emulators in the specific context
of WINE?  Personally, I think that would be more effective.  Something
like "And while some may think that emulators are doomed to painfully
substandard performance...."  And then fill in with arguments
like...well, wine isn't REALLY an emulator persay...or something like
that.
