there are many things you did suboptimally, so any single answer
will only partially satisfy.  here is a suggestion, instead:

try placing point in the defun and typing `M-x edebug-defun RET'.
this will allow you to step through the next invocation of that
function by typing `SPC'.  during execution, you can type `p' to
temporarily move the cursor to where point is.  be sure to try to
predict where it should be (before typing `p') so that you can
determine whether or not your assumptions about the code's
behavior are supported.

in other words, answer this: what do you think you did right?
