Probably you are confused because of this code present in index.html:
{{elif 'content' in globals():}}
{{=content}}
{{else:}}
{{=BEAUTIFY(response._vars)}}
{{pass}}
If theres no content it renders the BEAUTIFY(response._vars) just like the
generic view, so its not the generic view being rendered but a similar view.
