So, if I understand you correctly, then I should write features somewhat 
like this:

Scenario: A known user signs in successfully
  Given a known user "myuser" with a password "myuserpassword"
  When user "myuser" signs on with a password "myuserpassword"
  Then user "myuser" is authenticated
    And the user sees a sign in success message

Scenario: A known user does not sign in successfully
  Given a known user "myuser" with a password "myuserpassword"
  When user "myuser" signs in with a password "anotherpassword"
  Then user "myuser" is not authenticated
    And the user sees a sign in failure message
    And the user sees the sign in page

And I should simply not worry about what is provided by authlogic, other 
than the requisite behaviour as exhibited in this application.

I am still grappling with the entire concept.  A "perspective" graces 
what I as yet possess with too much dignity.

Thanks.
