Is there any advantage to using the assert module vs the fail module to bail out of a play if an expected condition isn't met?

I don think there's a technical advantage, but the concepts are different:

* use assert for checking against abnormal conditions, like a malformed or missing input, missing file, that should never happen in the normal flow of your playbook.

 * use fail for aborting the playbook on operations that can meaningfully fail and that you have an idea what's happening
