I'm fairly certain this is a throwback to the *old* way filters used
to work, and is mostly there for legacy reasons. The generally
accepted approach is to make it redirect rather than return.

And to avoid @model.save returning false and breaking the chain I
always use @model.save! and rescue_from

Here's a thread I quickly found discussing the change:
