Actually, computation, in the classic sense used by Turing, Church, and other pioneers, refers to evaluating the value of (mathematical) functions. The word computation first appears in the earliest papers of the field which would later become computer science referring to "computable functions", which refers to functions which can be evaluated by a mechanical process. Hence saying "not everything computers do is computation".
