Flac - Sep 2004 - [Flac-users] If it decodes OK, would it have tested OK?

Sorry for the elementary question, but heck, that's why I'm on 
flac-users and not on flac-developers.

If a .flac file decodes without error, does that mean that it would have 
tested OK?  I've been assuming that there's an implicit test in the 
decoding process, and that a mismatch on the internal checksum would 
make flac report an error on decoding instead of simply saying "done."

Have I been right?

Thank you.  Not able to read the source code, I had to ask.
