Because object=Model.find_or_create...() will result in
object.new_record? never being true. In my code, I have occasionally
done:
if object.new_record?.nil? # new_record? is false on create, but
nil on find
Which is depending on a kind of behavior that is clearly subject to
change. I could have been a bit more invasive with
object.instance_variable_get("@new_record_before_save"), but.. "Ew!"
