Yes, this is a scholarly paper.
Is this the foundation of the fleecing feature? I've never heard the term used in IT before.

I don't think so. The term was already used in QEMU in 2018: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/commit/f8d59dfb40bbc6f5aeea57c8aac1e68c1d2454ee

Ok, thanks! I was just curious. Its such a unique term. But ok, it was part of the QEMU standard.
