Thanks Robyn! I've marked your question as the answer, not because I disagree with most of the other answers/comments exactly, but because in my mind, a first-hand account of experience in the sector is really useful, and it's succinct. One wonders if it is likely to become an increasing concern for the developers of software A, or whether it's best to keep the distinction clear (even if perhaps it does result in the occasional issue)

This is not the correct answer. I encourage you to listen to all the things others are telling you, rather than argue with them at length.

@Reid Much as I appreciate your contribution, I disagree with you on what the 'correct' answer is, the tone you've chosen to use, and apparently also your opinion on debating/discussing answers. Happy to 'defend' my choice, if you think it's worth anyone's time.

@Reid: I mean if your point is that it's not the right answer, because we're looking at the specific question: "Should I validate biometric input", to which the answer is "Probably not strictly", then maybe you have a point? But it's pretty clear below that there's not a clear answer to even that, and I appreciated this answer's treatment of the more systemic issues, which are clearly relevant. Please do elucidate, because you haven't given me much to go on.
