Yes, because it's a Catalyst tutorial not a tutorial for whatever model 
provider you choose to use.

You *can* put your logic in the controller and if all you will ever 
build is a single web app that doesn't need to talk to anything else 
then that's fine.

The general experience is that, in the long term, making the web app a 
simple layer over a standalone model is more flexible, easier to extend 
and easier to test.

But it's up to you, I suggest reading more widely around the concepts 
behind MVC and do whatever works best for you. As Kieren says, you'll 
learn by experience :-)

Best of luck.

Simon.
