That's a very bad way to look at it.  Just because a page validates,

even if it works in Firefox.  By just ignoring other browsers, you may
in fact be unintentionally relying on bugs in the browsers you do test.

"spelling check passes sentence This a"

What?  I have no idea what that's supposed to mean.

I think Kay was trying to point out that even if a sentence passes an automated spelling check (This sentence passes a spelling check), it may not be "correct".

I believe both of you were making the same point; that automated validation of code does not necessarily imply a lack of bugs. I second (third?) this, as I think validation is merely one step, one part of the process of creating a website.
