It **is** valid. If enough testing is done on these fake, unauthorized chipsets, the easier it will be for an instant "fake or broken" status to pop up on the screen to alert the user before continuing, bringing education of fake NAND/FLASH memory to the publics' eyes and hopefully alarming OEMs to crack down on these fake chipsets harming their brands. The more information in the database (with consent of the users, of course), the better and quicker. And adding the BadBlacks program and list of faulty chipsets will even further improve reliability of catching a bad chipset before it's too late.
