First, I have a different issue with that phrase, as it’s not clear what “EA” is. To me, EA doesn’t seem like an agent. You can say, ”....CEA should” or ”...OP should”.
Normally, I prefer one says “I think X should”. There are some contexts, specifically small ones (talking to a few people, it’s clearly conversational) where saying, “X should do Y” clearly means “I feel like X should do Y, but I’m not sure”. And there are some contexts where it means “I’m extremely confident X should do Y”.
For example, there’s a big difference between saying “X should do Y” to a small group of friends, when discussing uncertain claims, and writing a mass-market book titled “X should do Y”.
Good question.
