The only thing I really have to add to this conversation is that your routes 
are not necessarily mapped one to one to your models. You might have a nested 
url that is actually a different association but there's also an association 
matching the url - how do you tell it not to use the automatically discovered 
one? Tying urls and models together means giving up a certain degree of 
flexibility.

Also the `resources` and `resource` definitions in routes.rb are just macros to 
reduce the amount of typing needed to define RESTful url patterns. This is 
perfectly illustrated by the form_for/singleton resource issue (#1769).
