The defition that you provide does not correspond to any definition that I have found.

And as usual, since it doesn't agree with you, it is false.

And as usual, since it doesn't agree with you, it is false.

You are making an erroneous presumption regarding my statement. I did not say that the definition is false. I said that the definition does not correspond to any definition of the word "validation" that I have encountered, and I provided a reference to definitions for the word "validation". If tgambill has a source for a definition of "validation" that corresponds to the definition that he has provided, then I will accept it. However, that will not mean that the application of that definition -- even if it is a correct usage of the word -- is the definition applied when speaking of scientific validation.
