Incidentally, this is also helped greatly by the Walrus operator.  With the
support function I write:

if msg := not_valid(instance, schema):
    print("The problem is:", msg)   # The exception contains detailed
diagnosis
else:
    do_json_stuff(instance)

The dead increasingly dominate and strangle both the living and the
not-yet born.  Vampiric capital and undead corporate persons abuse
the lives and control the thoughts of homo faber. Ideas, once born,
become abortifacients against new conceptions.
