I'm not quite sure why the expect syntax is that much better.

row.day.should eq 'value' seems much more readable. I would love to hear from you why you use 'expect'.

As for me it's more readable like a sentence. I think it depends on a developer anyway.

I think the point is to eliminate 'should'. One less syntax sugar
