Hey, thanks for your great work and for making it free!

I have one suggestion about page 285:
"validate" can be used for "lineinfile" as well, not just for the "copy" module. You could remove the whole paragraph about "using caution with lineinfile" and just show how validate could be used for both modules.

@lustoerk - Good catch! I never realized validate could be passed to lineinfile until just now. I thought maybe it was added somewhat recently, but glancing through Ansible's git history, it's been there at least six years!

I'll have this fixed in the next version of the book, 1.23. Thanks again!
