This is a childrearing technique, too: say “please do X”, where X precludes Y, rather than saying “please don’t do Y!”, which just increases the salience, and therefore likelihood, of Y.

Bats runs the test files through a preprocessor[1] that, among other things, converts each `@test` case into a shell function. E.g. `@test "the doohickey should frob" { ... }` becomes `test_the_doohickey_should_frob() { ... }`.
