I'm thinking you might not be using the word as it's commonly understood.
Validation means "complete".
Ergo evolution allows you to determine design, but only the right design completes the Evolution.
However, unlike the term complete, validation implies a conscious ratification, which is relevant to living organisms, since they are conscious.
No, you are not comparing apples with apples.
You are saying "Evolution started here: X, then something changed, then Evolution returned to: X" when actually, if you return to X then nothing has happened.
Organisms don't interact with their environment by trial and error, they interact with themselves by trial and error.

I've never come across a posting by the OP that did.

Living things have the following characteristics:
Homeostasis
Organization
Metabolism
Reproduction
These words have established meanings.

Viruses reproduce, but they do not metabolize anything nor do they maintain homeostasis.
Prions reproduce but do not fit ANY other requirements.
Viruses definitely evolve.
Be more careful.
This not sense does make.
It's both, actually. Mutagenesis can occur spontaneously or caused by external phenomenon like chemicals, ultraviolet radiation, viruses, etc.Organisms don't interact with their environment by trial and error, they interact with themselves by trial and error.
Evolution, as with everything in nature, is a phenomenon that exists independent of observation. Observation is simply the means (i.e., the epistemology) by which we recognize such reality.So if Evolution is an observation
