   > my guess is because they realized that it's more natural to mentally 
define actual and then expected. I've also seen numerous cases across the 
parquet-java codebase where the actual/expected were flipped, which is easy to 
do JUnit assertions
   
   yeah, maybe they looked at use and conclude that actually the majority of 
real-world uses had expected and actual mixed up. Certainly that was true in 
about 90% of PRs I've ever reviewed from people who weren't experienced with 
using junit for many years and knew of this quirk from time debugging its error 
messages. After all, when the asserts work, you never realise that the ordering 
matters.
