What he probably doesn't realize (and this seems to be a big stumbling block for new users) is that you can break your expectations up into multiple context.checking calls. I know there have been several people come here with the same issue.

The cheat sheet documentation really needs to be updated to make this clear. I submitted a JIRA issue for it.

It cannot.  That's because pulling the common setup into a clearly
named utility method makes tests *much* easier to understand.
