Validation can't be better than the quality of the specification. Humans don't create comprehensive, unambiguous specifications for the same reasons that we don't write bug-free code, and need formal validation.

Brooks talks about this in _Mythical_Man-Month_... if you really could "just implement the specification", then the specification itself would be complete enough to serve as your code. There will always be bugs in both.
