> that virtual particles are in fact actual particles
I assume that means those "virtual particles" behave almost like actual particles. e.g. have a rest mass or not.
This helps lay person understand physics better.

Depends on the definition of a particle, and 'virtual particles' aren't the same as 'real' particles. As I said above it'd be a good idea to change the name, it'd stop lots of confusion.
