You are of course free to think so, but without some Why's I'm hardly able
to argue about it. But I always wanted to be psychic, so I'll try it
anyway :)

When I request a resource from a Catalyst application, two things are
executed: The framework logic, and my application logic. But this is not a
"first the one, then the other" execution. During the request, the
framework calls my application logic to get some response together, and my
application logic uses the framework logic in a convenient way. The
dispatching (read: The decisio on what part of my application logic to
execute) is a rather small part.
