I don't think it is appropriate that I dump thousands of lines of code
here to illustrate the problem :-)

when I provide four lines of code and tell you there's a bug, of
course you can spot it immediately.  when it's part of a large system,
it's a bit harder.  also consider that the db.commit() originally was
correctly placed by the programmer, and the wrong indentation was
introduced later by an editing glitch.
