Well I already know not to do `should !=`, so I don't do it. But I
was suggesting that RSpec could make an AST pass over the specs to
pick up this, which is undetectable otherwise - at least under Ruby
<1.9, apparently. (It would be something like mini RSpecLint, I
guess.) != caught me out quite a few times when I was first learning
RSpec. I misinterpreted your comment to mean that something like this
was already in RSpec.
If you don't care whether the code is useful, I'm baffled as to why
you might care whether the tests are useful.
Lol, I was joking! The implication was I always write specs* because
I always care if the code is useful.

* Actually, that's a lie. I have support code in my Cucumber features
that has no specs, and yes, we've found bugs in them. But all my non-
false-positive features prove that they work =) So maybe I should
say, "I always write specs except when I don't, and I always regret it
when I don't".
