I love how the OIDC standard is littered with “authentication identity token code id cookie identifier” and many subtle variations of homonyms in slightly different combinations and orders.
I’m sure someone thought it all made perfect sense.
Probably someone who never confuses “empathy” and “sympathy” while also carefully distinguishing between “should” and “ought”.

What do you mean by this?
I feel "ought" is stronger and is something that is expected of you, but English is not my native language.
"You should drink more water"
"You ought to help your sick mother"
I'm a native speaker and I agree. "Ought" can connote an obligation or responsibility of some sort. "Should" is used more often when the outcome is out of any control. It might only be the speaker's belief.
But there is significant overlap.

Not sure what's giving you a pause there?
It's going over my head, too. I don't understand what the implication of the sentence is in context.
