I'm at the point of my project where I am building the lookup tables for my main table.
I understand that to create foreign key references I have to use `add_reference` when creating the table.
But then I also have to use the `has_one` along with `foreign_key` association.
But I'm trying to understand why I need to do both and what's the difference. If I create a foreign key and reference when creating the table, why do I have to define it again with the association? Why can't rails detect the association from reference (add_reference)?
