Bogus table for "instead of" trigger

Hi. From the documentation I can see that "instead of" triggers only can be placed on views. So I need to:

create table bogus_table (id number);
create view bogus_view as select id from bogus_table;

create trigger bogus_trigger
instead of insert into bogus_view
.
.

Is this the correct way? Seems strange. What's the reasoning for not being able to make an "instead of" trigger directly on the table?
