What's to wrap your head around? All it does is create an object with
some associations. If you're finding it confusing, you're most likely
overthinking it.

Does add_address save @person ?
Personally, I would do @person.addresses << address , which always seems
to do the right thing.

You do know that, while this test is useful for getting to know Factory
Girl, it is of no use for an actual application, right? All it's doing
is testing FG and AR functionality that's already well tested.

I don't think you need to use blocks for constant values.
However, once you get FG working, I highly recommend using Faker to
generate the data.
