Can I catch and suppress errors on client validation?

I'd like to call a validated-method well knowing that the validation function will generate an error. Can I suppress the error?

Review the validated-method API and its client-side validation path first. The issue names no files or tests, so trace the relevant entry points and determine the intended behavior for suppressing validation errors. Done means the behavior is clearly defined and documented, with implementation and coverage if a change is required.
