Because folks who aren't validating see no problems, thus discouraging people 
from leaving validation on.  

To wit, on NANOG:

"I saw the same errors in dnsviz, but was unsure if they were sufficient
to cause lookup failures (they were "warnings" only).

# dig @8.8.8.8 disa.mil MX +dnssec
...
I do note that once we disabled DNSSEC on our resolvers we were able to
push mail out to these domains.  May have been coincidental -- needs
further testing."

I figure it would be nice to give people the option of disabling validation for 
a single domain instead of turning validation off for everything.
