This ^^ will pass regardless of whether the method is defined in the
right place because the should_receive statement defines the
dates_between method if it's not there. In other words, this example
is not actually testing anything besides how rspec-mocks works.

This is probably the one that's failing because you're defining a
class method but you're calling an instance method.

What is wild about that data? Looks like what you're defining in the
example. What data are you expecting here?
