That's the goal to strive for, but if it's all not rendered on the
fly, that means it's static, in which case why bother using ERb? :-)
Having Ruby code in your ERb files is a necessary evil. The trick is
to do as much as possible of the complicated logic in the other parts.
The things that respond at a very high level to the current "command"
(like "tell the model to make a new one" or "tell the model to tag
this post with this comment") are generally in the controller, while
the logic behind *that* (the actual creation or tagging) is usually in
the model.
