I agree. Although having both the instructions and the set is infinitely
better than having neither the instructions nor the set, a set can probably
be *checked* having only the instructions and not the set, to an accuracy of
99% or higher (if one is careful).
The key thing here is that without having both the instructions and the set,
it's extremely difficult to prove that a given file is correct. But if there
is a glaring error in the data, it's certainly not a requirement to have the
set in order to spot an error. That is, there is value in checking a set
based only on having the instructions, as long as mistakes are found. If no
mistakes are found, then the value of checking it that was is reduced, since
it can't be proved correct based only on the instructions.
