So your 'novalidate' referred to the "without validation" clause of exchange; I thought you were referring to the workaround for uk/pk exchanges where even if you did including indexes without validate on the exchange, Oracle still did a horrendous check of the UK and PK constraints by doing a massive MINUS and INTERSECTION across the entire partitioned table.
