Is that right? I think it is the other way around; it is trying to find
Sample, but objects because it thinks it should be in sample.rb, not
sample_log/sample.rb.
"SampleLog::Sample" is not used anywhere in the project (and I have done
a search to confirm this).

Yes, I think this is true (indeed, this is how it was originally set
up). However, I was HOPING to be able to split the models into sections.
