:) 

It is not about the script. 

It is about that view helper should not directly contact business
services. Business services should be contacted by business helper. It
can be seen in the dispatcher view pattern that the view controller
dispatches to business/view helper classes.

A view helper should *only* transform the presentation model of the view
and not resolving it. We need a clear separation for that.
