I believe this is correct.

I know Jonas and I talked about this, but I don't remember the reasoning for
sure.  One thing I can think of off the top of my head is that it's weird
that it'd start off null and then be set later.  Also, it would be duplicate
data given that .result is also set to the transaction.  Is there any strong
reason to set it?
