Yes, Matthew.  There are a lot of people in the industry who 
try to "should" on us.  I guess the correct response is, "Don't
should on me."   Or, perhaps, "That's a lot of Bull Should."  In
any case, I think promoting it to a subprogram is not _wrong_
either.  I think we would both agree that one must decide on the
appropriate kind of abstraction for the problem being solved.
