> But it does have a generally understood meaning ... ?
I ran this problem past my wife who has the good fortune to be entirely
out of this discussion. She's a quality engineer, and knows what's
involved in getting people to understand stuff, usually stuff they would
prefer to avoid thinking about.
So I asked her to differentiate between invalidated and unvalidated,
providing her as little context as possible. She defined each one
correctly, and then said, "But I wouldn't ever use either of them. I'd
find a way to say it that could not be misunderstood."
