If you can't create a valid meta tag, you can confirm ownership simply by  
uploading a file with a specific name to your site:

For such an ignorant guy he doesn't seem to be doing too badly.

What "boss"? And what makes you think the "boss" would give you a  
different answer? The site ownership validation process is quite  
straightforward and takes less than a minute. When it fails, it'll give  
you a detailed description of the problem (ex.: "We've detected that your  
verification file returns a status of 404 (Not found) in the header.").

In any case, this kind of issue is completely unrelated to the validator,  
and would make more sense in a webmaster forum.
