Although `exit 1` is the proper way to signal a test failure from within a subshell, its use outside any subshell should be avoided since it aborts the entire script rather than aborting only the failed test. Instead, a simple `return 1` is the proper idiom for signaling failure outside a subshell since it aborts only the test in question, not the entire script.
