Nicola started MAME years before he wrote that thesis.

As soon as you say "in most games" you lose the technical argument. I assume when you say "it gives the same result", you mean it lets you play the game. I wouldn't flame someone for it, but I'd not recommend anyone spend time on something that in a few years will be irrelevant. Sometimes HLE is unavoidable (eg when you don't have the code) other times it's more work for no gain.
I'd say that the biggest problem with n64 emulators has been the HLE of the ucode. You're entitled to disagree.
Of course there are right ways and wrong ways to write emulators, especially good ones & there is no point in sticking your head in the sand if you're going the wrong way about things.
