Regarding the way partials are executed in the "Extracting Blank Slate Partial" videos

Hi, Jason Seifer

I've noticed in the "Extracting Blank Slate Partial" course you declare your collection partials the following way:

-# Haml used for the sake of brevity
 = render partial: "todo_list", collection: @todo_lists

Why wasn't the object-based/implicit-based wasn't used?

= render @todo_lists 

Is there a gotcha as far as the way objects are being instantiated later in the current ODOT series that necessitates the former approach?
