Clearly there are contexts in which commenting out a line of code will leave a query that is syntactically or semantically invalid. Why do you find this strange? Why do you expect us to be able to tell you why the remaining query throws an error, when you haven't shown us this query?

Or is this a Christmas quiz: invent a query such that removing line 26 will cause this error?
