It checks if the internal structure is according to its interpretation of the specifications.

It checks to see, for instance, that if a paragraph was started, that it was ended. It checks to make sure if you link to something in the document, that that something is actually there.

It can tell you when things are wrong, which is useful. But like most other validation tools, it often won't tell you usefully where the defect is. It will tell you where the number of paragraph starts don't equal the number of paragraph ends, but that is often at the end of the document.

It can also alert to what it thinks are problems, but which aren't really problems.

AND
it checks that you followed the allowed tag nesting rules.

What it does not check is Content spelling .
Whether the content is worth reading

It just proves you have well, EPUB packaged garbage

This is one key information.

and it always confuse you more or mislead you instead of telling what's the problem.
