Why did we connect segue with view controller and not with the gesture?

When we connect segue with view controller, we have to write performSegueWithIdentifier method which we don't need to write if we just connect the segue with the gesture (I tried it and it worked).

If you had been following along with the course, you should have seen that it has to do with adding more UIImageViews with tap gestures doing the exact same segue. This way you create one segue with an identifier and perform the segue in the code repeatedly by just connecting the gestures to that single action.

Otherwise you'd have to drag every tap gesture to create the segue and then write the same identifier over and over again.

Hope this makes sense.
