Your implementation looks so much like a ModelFactory my team
implemented last week that it's scary. Anyway ...
Is it a typo that you show the "create_..." methods being def'd as
module methods (i.e., "def self.create...") while the
"valid_..._attribute" methods are instance methods? That would
certainly cause NoMethodErrors (though it would affect specs as well
as other contexts).
-hume.
