Answer
Failing to validate leads to invalid objects.
A common mistake is neglecting validation when constructing value objects, which can lead to invalid state and runtime errors. It's vital to perform necessary checks in the constructor, such as ensuring a 'DateRange' value object has a start date before the end date.
