I find the talk of "should_MattSimpson" very unpersuasive given the availability of alternative phrasings such as "approved_MattSimpson" or "valued_MattSimpson". I have read below that EY discourages such talk, but it seems that's for different reasons than mine. Could someone please point me to at least one post in the sequence which (almost/kinda/sorta) motivates such phrasings?
Alternate phrasings such as those you listed would probably be less confusing, i.e. replacing "should" in "should_X" with "valued" and reserving "should" for "valued_human".
