True. Subject of this email: False.

He makes a distinction in the 4th minute of that video between
accessibility (achieved in part by using markup well) and validation
-- this, whilst important, will occasionally fail for all manner of
reasons both trivial and not-so-trivial. His assessment (so far as I
can see) is that content matters first, accessibility is important,
and markup _validation_ is generally trivial from their spider's
perspective.
