+                is logically considered to be valid in terms of the representation of the
+                object or array that's expected. For example if a subschema represents a car,
+                which requires between 2-4 wheels, and the value of "wheels" is 6, the instance
+                object is not "evaluated" to be a car, and the "wheels" property is considered
+                "unevaluated (successfully as a known thing)", and does not retain any annotations.
