The commas are not there because the first part of the sentence isn't an independent clause. Indeed, "This is a complete sentence." is a complete sentence. The commas are there because the rest of the sentence is a list, which is irrelevant to what we're talking about.

A dependent clause can be before an independent clause in a sentence that is why there is a comma-splice. Again see guideline. http://www.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/runons.htm


 * "What is a production error?" Answer: The production error is "The symbol of the cryptogram for the word FOOLISH actually spells 'FOOJISH'."
 * Again a simple comma is needed to avoid a run-on sentence.
