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.
