Platon: Validation - Why Bother teaching this?
 
 
For perhaps the same reason that Columbia University Law/Journalism professors teach their students (at least one - circa late 1940’s):	“If your mother says she loves you,”		“CHECK IT OUT!!”
Encourage students to solve, refine and publish structures that can stand the test of  time - that means doing a variety of validation and using a variety of programs to assist in validation!
