Let me make the case with another type. db.auth_user.insert(password=encrypted_password) while with your patch db.auth_user.insert(password=unencrypted_password) because the CRYPT validator would convert the unencrypted into the encrypted password. insert expects raw data as it goes in the DB, form contain data represented as strings. They two are different for almost every type but text and strings.
