Well, the impression came from my unconscious mental mapping of 
pass=true and fail=false.  "should_be something" or "assert 
something_else" seem, on the surface, to be a simple true or false, yes 
or no, type conditionals. I mapped that impression, in the absence of 
any information to the contrary, to my personal expectations of my own 
tests.

I have exerted myself to learn this stuff and even have taken the 
Pragmatic Programmers course on testing.  Somehow I missed the 
distinction between fail and false.  I am not likely to forget it 
however...
