We don't. But we need 3 words for 3 concepts. 

Assurance = verification via WoT

Validation = verifcation via lesser means

Verification = Assurance + Validation

I would like "validated" a bit more (and even more thinking about automated
checking)...What do the others think?

Why do we need three words to describe one concept? Simplicity is the key to our success and all this sounds like academic wankery; somebody please explain what benefit is percieved from confusing the hell out of our users.
