Yes, it is poorly worded and thus not correct. Note, validation process was always poorly documented, unfortunately. A bit more info : a) orphan record versions not fixed in any case, they just stay in database b) hard corrupted records could be fixed by marking as "damaged" but only if -mend was specified. Such records stay in database and skipped by the engine. c) orphan pages are fixed if and only if there was no other errors detected and -full was specified Regards, Vlad
