It's just the way the CMS works. If you're sending values to the template, the fastest, easiest, and best way to to do it is to add it to the view directly (the view is responsible for knowing everything about rendering output to the screen).

I didn't track your code back to see why the values were being changed, so I don't know why it wasn't working correctly.
