I don't agree. Since RSpec's syntax uses "should" as a technical term, I believe it should be in every spec description: it "should set the value to 2" do value.should == 2 end > > The word "should" is soft; it doesn't mean "fail if this isn't true", > which > is what we're trying to convey. "Should" as an RSpec technical term isn't soft at all. It's "this *should* be true. If it is not, we have a problem."
