I'd be prepared to bet that the vast majority of VFR pilots (and probably a fair chunk of IFRs) don't know what "conspicuity code" (as opposed to any other purpose of a squawk) means, nor indeed would they know what "validated" or "verified" means, so telling them wouldn't achieve much other than maybe covering your back if there's an incident. Same goes for many other ATC practices.
