I actually changed this at some point because the find_resource test helper stubs find_by_param if that is defined - otherwise it will stub find. Since it was not stubbing find and i thought it was good to use the same finder all over the place i changed it to find_by_param. But I think this got me thinking about having two finders that do pretty much the same and triggered the removal of find_by_param. So when i merge this pull request with the current master i'll have to replace this with find. Thanks for pointing me to it.
