Creating Valid Code

for

I was asked to look at part of a site. Most of the pages had over 20
validation errors. While the developer hasn't been creating sites for
too long, my lead told me to essentially ignore them. He says
non-valid code is kind of the standard these days "in the real world."
I know a good amount of people on the list either work for large
organizations/companies, is this just how it is or should I be pushing
for valid code. I would be fine with the errors if they were under
five or so, but 20 is little high for my blood.

What do you guys think?
