In STI, how does one tell whether a subclass uses a certain attribute or not?

"When defining the table, remember that the attributes of subclasses will be present only in the table rows corresponding to those subclasses"
Yes, but I think if I were to set attributes corresponding to a sibling class, Rails would still let me, assuming I haven't put in place any validation that the field cannot be set.
So, it seems unless I validate that only the fields for a subclass can be set, the only way to tell is to ask the original developer or figure out based on intuition or reading the code.
