What query will give me the solid body that owns a face?

I have a face, and I thought this would give me the body that owns it:
But that just gives me the face again. I also tried
but that gives the same thing too. The body is a user-created body so i do not have programmatic access to the id to use qCreatedBy.
This code works, but its really insane just to find the owning body:
Shouldn't you be able to find the solid body that owns a face using qOwnerBody? I think this code will generally work but its pretty nasty and there are some corners in which we could find multiple bodies if we happened to have a face on a boundary between two solids.
var theBody = qOwnerBody(definition.face );

var theBody = qOwnerBody(qOwnerBody(definition.face));

<div> var tangentPlane = evSurfaceDefinition(context, {</div><div> "face" : definition.face</div><div> });</div><div> </div><div> var originalObject =qContainsPoint(qBodyType(qEverything(EntityType.BODY),BodyType.SOLID),tangentPlane.origin );</div>Shouldn't you be able to find the solid body that owns a face using qOwnerBody?

the last part should be
<div> var tangentPlane = evFaceTangentPlane(context, {</div><div> "face" : definition.surface,</div><div> "parameter" : vector(0.5, 0.5)</div><div> }); of course the above returns a surface, not a tangent plane.</div>This is a pretty large project, so like that other extrude weirdness I'll try to narrow it down to an easier repro before having you look into it
