Instead of raising exceptions within the "validate" functions when invalid arguments are used with the distribution functions, the nan value should be returned.
The reasoning behind this decision is to support large scale operations on arrays.
This makes identifying invalid arguments much more difficult, as the current "validate" functions provide detailed descriptions for why the arguments are rejected, so a more effective solution is welcome for discussion.

Example "validate" function, where each distribution function has its separate "validate" function: https://github.com/berkay-yalin/promethium/blob/668cc829dfe48595d1f0672f35aa20d427f48d3b/src/promethium/distributions/binomial.py#L6-L18
