Ah yes, the good old difference between "Validation" and "Verification"...
Something I learnt about 20 years ago (:-S)... I threw that question ("what
is the difference between data validation and data verification?") at one of
my previous developers - he was a recent IT graduate... He had to think for
quite some time before he answered (correctly)... saying that, as it was 20
years since I learnt it, so did I ;-)
