FYI, be careful, see my other comments in reply but I think this is working correctly, and due to the fact that a `SELECT ... FOR UPDATE` is a write.

Yes, I have been reading the conversation. That was so much to learn. I did not know that `SELECT ... FOR UPDATE` is "sort of" a write. I googled and found out this SO link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18879584/postgres-select...

that corroborates what you have said.
