Ok, I've looked at my tests and there were reasons why I did that.

In the code I was testing, the return was not as easy to pin down.  it
could have been asingle word or a phrase.  Any damn string at all
except the empty string and undef.  That's why I tested those two
conditions on the first method.  If you look at the tests for the
later methods where I know what I'm expecting back, I check for it
explicitly.

Sorry if I confused you with that.  I didn't realy explain what i was
testing and why.

cheers
