Description
A user reported confusion regarding an error message that used the word "should" -- indicating that if it really is an error, then it needs to be stronger than that ("must").
We should (must?) review our error messages and align the language to the strength of the error. Generally true errors are must / shall and warnings are should.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Search the repository for error and warning messages containing SHOULD, MUST, or SHALL, then review each message against whether it represents an error or warning; done means the wording consistently reflects that distinction.
