**Title** : Ash Framework: Incorrect return of {:ok, …} for bang (!) function (page 20)

In the section `Defining a destroy action`:

```auto
iex(3)> artist = Tunez.Music.get_artist_by_id!("the-artist-id")
{:ok, #Tunez.Music.Artist<id: "an-artist-id", ...>}

```

should be similar to the entry provided in page 19:

```auto
iex(3)> artist = Tunez.Music.get_artist_by_id!("the-artist-id")
#Tunez.Music.Artist<id: "an-artist-id", ...>

```

since we are calling the bang variant (`get_artist_by_id!`) instead of the normal variant (`get_artist_by_id`).
