Rails - Jul 2006 - What''s the point of the show view when using the scaffold tool?

This is kind if an elementary question, but what is the point of the  
show view when you have edit? If you try to edit the record you can  
see all of the details just as you would with show. Am I missing  
something here or is there some other good reason why there is a show?

Thanks for the help.


Thank You,

Maybe you want to allow some people to view, but not edit the records?  Or 
maybe there''s a textarea field with a *lot* of text, but the input
field
is small so you can''t easily see it all?
