Can we pull this out into a helper method like
def relation_primary_key_from_model(model, original_relation, obj, was)
model.try(relation_primary_key(original_relation, source: obj, was: was).try(:to_sym)
end
Not sure if that's worth it, but it makes it clearer that the same thing is happening in both cases, just mapping in one.

I might be reading this wrong, but it looks like the Reader class isn't actually required for the test scenario here, is it?

Actually, the problem with this scenario cannot be solved so easily, and the implementation is too naive. In the scenario, we have a ReadersArticle that updates the readers_count counter. Everything works fine until we delete the associated AuthorsArticle, which leads to the counter becoming out of sync.
Therefore, I don't see much benefit in this functionality. Unless leaving the technical possibility of specifying a multi-level path for the counter, and letting the implementation be up to a user, as it should be quite complex.
