At the end of the day, browsers have to handle most of the invalid atrocities thrown at it.
It doesn't make the code valid according to the specifications.

It isn’t an opinion, it literally is invalid HTML.
What you’re responding to is an assumption that I was suggesting browsers couldn’t render that. Which isn’t what I claimed at all. I know full well that browsers will gracefully handle incorrect HTML, but that doesn’t mean that the source is magically compliant with the HTML specification.
