Not a joke: it really is similar to the Turing Test...

FM != analogue (or "FM <> analogue" for BASIC programmers)
OPLx use D/A converters just like PC sound cards do. All the synthesis is
digital, and can be emulated perfectly.
Maybe the different sound is due to different D/A converters and filters.
For example when you emulate an SCC using a MoonSound, there is a lot less
noise and distortion, so it sounds differently, although the digital part
is emulated accurately.
