Yeek! The programming Best Practice is to make all methods verb
phrases!

Ruby, generally, lets us leverage this rule very far towards

Nathaniel, proceed with the testing idiom of using a noun for the
"execute around" pattern here. These aren't methods end-user
programmers will call for themselves!
