Larry, on page 150 of the YiiBook2 (latest version), you write that the following code is "verbose, redundant, and illogical": $model = new Page(); $model = $model->findOne($id); Instead of creating an instance of the Page class, as shown above, you say we should use a static class instance (or static method?), like this: if (($model = Page::findOne($id)) !== null) { return $model; etc. I don't understand why the first example is "verbose, redundant, and illogical", and why the second example is preferred. Can you please explain this? Thanks.
