Did I say that validation was the heart of the problem? Not exactly. I said that schemas cause more harm than benefit. I attacked the use of schemas for agreement, and pointed out the perpetual temptation they offer to build brittle schema-centered applications. Validation is one small piece of that much larger puzzle, and not an especially useful piece. I'm not sure what I think of John's polarity reversal, but I think I can grant that it is at least a slightly less toxic use case than many others. There's LD50, and there are non-lethal toxic effects, many of them cumulative and unnoticed. > Perhaps you just assumed that along with > a few other things.
