Why does `cake bake` have that reversed?

$this->Model->create();    //empty
$this->Model->save($this->data);    //filled with sent data

??

Also, is Daniel trying to update the found model (if found), or create
a new model?  I don't understand the reason for calling $this->Model-
>findById($id); in this instance.  I have a feeling that Jon was
assuming an additional record created from already existing data
within a different record (i.e.: copy), but is that correct?
