I'm quite a novice here, but I think some of the "veterans" should drop their arrogant EpubCheck-bashing tone which is not backed by any logical arguments.

Blaming EpubCheck because some of the readers do not display ePub files even though they validates makes no sense. Someone noticed quite well -- what gives you the impression, that the first thing is the cause of the second? That is like blaming W3C HTML validator because IE6 is a crappy browser. Do you validate your (X)HTML and deploy it without even checking it in different browsers?
