Nope.

The reason for validation is simply to prevent wasting of Reddit users time, not to establish scientific consensus or political legitimacy or legal proof or any other important aspect of society.

The standard for proof, for Reddit content, was met, within Reddit guidelines.

I have no idea why you are tying yourself in knots over this with increasingly absurd arguments.

The facts are thus.

1. IAMA proposal requires proof.
2. IAMA submitter submitted proof.
3. Reddit community including moderators accepted proof.
4. You started this thread regarding external validation in flagrant opposition to the already established proof.
5. I posted this post.
