I take that as a no - rendering your original claim:

unsubstantiated.

The original formulation of the advice used 'should' exactly two times - and in 
a context where it means indeed 'should' as per RFC2119, that is in so far as 
attribution *should* be specific to what OSM data is used for in case a map 
uses multiple data sources.  There is no community consensus that this is more 
than a strong recommendation.

BTW - the OSMF organized editing guidelines:

https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Organised_Editing_Guidelines

use the term 'should' 18 times.
