I found an interview with Google Software engineer Matt Cutts here

Excuse me? Google' home page doesn't validate, and thats mostly by design to save precious bytes? Can't Google save precious bytes with making their code valid, using quotes around color attributes and page load faster? And while their pages don't validate, makes them load faster? Have I probably missed something here?

"...We can’t throw out 40% of the web on the principle that sites should validate; we have to take the web as it is and try to make it useful to searchers, so Google’s index parsing is pretty forgiving..."

And, how can Google take the web as it is, and try to make it useful to searchers? Can someone explain me how is that possible?
