    I'm a natural skeptic (no comments here :-)  ) and something
doesn't sound right.  How can it pass an address check if the
entire address isn't correct ? I would think even a typo would
make a difference.  Though I'll admit I'm not sure what you
mean by cvv2 value, but otherwise what would be the point
of an address check if it passes invalid addresses. The only thing
I can think that would make sense would be something like the
difference between  Rd versus Road.
