Style/SignalException change my code from fail to raise, is there any meanful reason to do this?

Exceptions
raise vs fail

Prefer raise over fail for exceptions.

# bad
fail SomeException, 'message'

# good
raise SomeException, 'message'

What is the reason for this?

JFYI, it seems to be based on the discussion in the Ruby Style Guide.

• Exceptions should favor raise over fail ruby-style-guide#512
• Remove distinction between fail and raise ruby-style-guide#517
