It seems surprising that you chose this way of summarising.
Rather, I'd say "It does not seem surprising that Trial shares state
between test cases." / "It is surprising that Trial shares state
between test cases"

> A main problem to coming to some agreement here seems to be that a lot of people are assuming they know how trial deals with shared state (or how trial should deal with shared state), but I haven't seen anyone explicitly spell this out yet.  Doing this might be a good first step to making further progress.

A worthy thought, and most likely right.

Thanks again for the summary.
