Because save complains loudly if it didn't work. It's kind of like
crossing the street: if you make it without feeling pain, you can be
sure you weren't hit by a car. There's no need to check your clothes for
any evidence of the contrary.

The reason database files do not grow in size on every new record is
because some space is pre-allocated and space previously occupied by
deleted records is reused if it fits to prevent large holes (meaning
more seeks).
