That's fine, sometimes (like me) you've got to learn by experience.   
But keeping things separate - business logic in the model - like that  
really has a major impact on the speed with which you can add features  
to an existing application.  Like many things, the setup time is a  
little longer, but the dividends that you reap from the fat model  
design pay dividends quickly.
