In my book, there's not really any such thing as what a system should do.
Should only makes sense with respect to the morals of some agent.
If you don't specify an agent, should becomes an extremely vague and ambiguous term.
Should statements are not about what happens, but about the desirability of what might happen - according to the moral system of some agent.
