What I understand from the manual is that if the model you need to access is associated with the current controller's model, you don't need to add it to $uses. Also that you don't need to add the current controller's model to $uses unless you have added another model, in which case it becomes necessary to add the current controller's model. It seems that Geoff is saying not to add anything to $uses unless it required on each and every action for the controller. Otherwise you will slow down actions that don't require it.
