You're misreading my step 1: "Add attribute toys.color (text)". That was added to the *database schema, *not to the Rails model definition. So steps 2-4 (or some equivalent process in Rails) absolutely were necessary. Otherwise the Rails app would have gone on oblivious to the change in the DB schema.
