In software engineering, "verify" and "validate" have standardized 
distinct meanings.  I'm not going to try to explain them here, but you 
can easily find them online.  I haven't formed an opinion on which one 
of them this tool is doing, but I notice that both the man page and the 
messages produced by the tool use the two terms seemingly 
interchangeably.  We should try to pick the correct term and use it 
consistently.
