ne doit pas


Explanation:
En anglais c'est une affirmation forte qu'il est à mon avis préférable de traduire en français pas une interdiction impersonnelle.
Je pense qu'il y a une partie du sens implicite en anglais qui est " si vous connaissez le sujet, si vous êtes un pro, vous ne voulez pas que ceci arrive" dans la même situation en français on dirait plus directement " ceci ne doit pas arriver".
