Is has_many => :through a violation of the Law of Demeter?

Question

If it is, what's its defence? And if it isn't, why isn't it?

IMO the defense, if any is really needed, is that it's not a big deal. — Dave Newton, Oct 25 '11 at 08:26

I think it is declaring new neighbor, akin to delegation. OTOH, if it were possible, it might be getting a bit bad to do multiple :through levels... (Do I remember correctly that they made this possible lately?)
