RE: Form helpers and overloaded methods - help!

Well, here’s the code that makes the form tags look at the database
directly. Is there a reason why I shouldn’t comment out these lines
below? Basically, I’m asking the core team why they decided to look at
the database first.

module ActionView
module Helpers
class InstanceTag

      def value_before_type_cast
        unless object.nil?
        #  object.respond_to?(@method_name + "_before_type_cast") ?
        #  object.send(@method_name + "_before_type_cast") :
            object.send(@method_name)
        end

    end
end

end
