I don't like the suggestion. It enforces a 1:1 relationship between controller and model.

I'd rather have the model and the ORM be pulled apart and the model make this distinction.

Or create another class that knows how to safely pull values out of a params list and use it to create a model.

But it's bad enough that the controllers "look" like they belong to a model in default Rails generators. This creates a certain amount of laxity in programmer's thinking. It boxes their thinking in instead of letting their thinking go free.
