Software emulation is one way of validation. But it doesn't give you a jumping-off-point to take a hardware design and write an equivalent C program, by any wild stretch of the imagination. And the emulation stuff takes care of a class of design problems. It does _not_ take care of a class of electrical problems like clock frequency vs coupling and cross-talk. That was the point of contention here. Wait for Hsu's book, then decide if the statements made were "100% correct".
