State transitions do not persist to DB in ActiveRecord models

#18

foo.bar! does not persist to the database due to a failed validation. The documentation for the WriteState::aasm_write_state method indicates that update_attribute is being used to bypass validation, but this is not the case.

After calling write_attribute, save is being called to persist the changes. Since save does validation, this breaks the design of state transitions in AASM.

A proposed fix would be to call save(false) to skip validation, see pastie:

    @Hans I am thinking that the original author did not intend for invalid models to persist. Instead, they opted to fix the misleading comment.

    this is unfortunate. It breaks our application in a lot of places. Can this please be made configurable?
