Did you read the article? He defines simulator as a layer between the application and the OS.
I didn't RTFA, but let me point out that his definition is one way to implement a simulator. Let me summarize it for you:
Simulator: functionality, what it does.
Emulator: function, how it does.
A simulator mimics the real thing but isn't.
Both do it, only the objectives are different.
