How come Maven's validate and verify phases execute without goals bound to them?

[Avante]

Maven's documentation states the following: https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-lifecycle.html#Lifecycle_Reference

However, according to the same documentation, https://maven.apache.org/ref/3.8.5/maven-core/default-bindings.html .

What am I missing?

I found https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39940552/no-plugin-goals-bound-to-a-maven-phase answered on Stack Overflow and, according to it, ...

• both of the above statements are correct
• the validate and verify phases don't have goals bound to them by default
• the validate and verify phases will only execute if the POM binds a plugin's goal to them
