+ * {@link IValidation.ISuccess} with binary data.
  *
- * If you can trust `input` value, or want to perform other type of validation,
- * use below functions instead.
+ * Related functions:
  *
- * - {@link encode}
- * - {@link assertEncode}
- * - {@link isEncode}
+ * - {@link encode} — No validation
+ * - {@link assertEncode} — Throws on first error
+ * - {@link isEncode} — Returns `null` instead of error details
  *
- * By the way, you know what? Expression power of Protocol Buffer is not enough
- * strong to fully meet the TypeScript type specs. In such reason, if you put a
- * TypeScript type that is not compatible with Protocol Buffer, this function
- * would throw compilation errors.
+ * Protocol Buffer has limited expressiveness compared to TypeScript.
+ * Incompatible types cause compilation errors.
