Assay.from_aid().to_dict() fails for multiple AIDs

[watplatt]

Assay.from_aid(2016).to_dict() fails. The reason is that a lot of 'comment' entries are absent altogether. The result is access to other records (e.g. 'target') is denied even if they do exist.

I can catch the exception, but it is a false failure (the 'target' may be there, but I can't get to it) for the records I want. Here's the report...
