What does "fully valid HTML" get you that "mostly-valid HTML" doesn't?

I'm not trying to be flippant but this just seems like a really silly thing to aim for and an even sillier thing to try to shame people about when ~98% of websites that people use just fine don't do it.

When I met my future wife, the first thing she did was to check if my personal homepage was fully validated. It was. And we are celebrating 20 raucous years this year!

Honestly? I have no idea. But, hey, if it works, it works.
