I don't know what Daniel means, but there are two types of mass-verifying IMO. The first type is, when people just query for a big list of dupes which are rather old and haven't been touched for a while or were resolved by a QA person with a good standing, check two or three of them and then mass-verify all the bugs. This is totally wrong of course. The other type is, when people really look at the bugs they're trying to verify, then make a query containing all the worthy bugs and then mass-verify them, because it's a lot less work than choosing the VERIFIED radio-button in every bug and click submit instead of just clicking submit one time. What I'm trying to emphasize in the document is that verifying without looking at a bug is just plain wrong and just looking at the summary or the person resolving the dupe is not enough. This is even more true for a mass change.
