It's not my settings.org file because I created a blank one and it yielded
the exact same results. My init file is so small that I don't think it
makes any difference:

(package-initialize)

;; Bootstrap `use-package'
(unless (package-installed-p 'use-package)
  (package-refresh-contents)
  (package-install 'use-package))

(setq package-archives
 '(("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/")
("gnu" . "https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")
                ("org" . "https://orgmode.org/elpa/")))
;; ("ox-odt" . "https://kjambunathan.github.io/elpa/")))

(require 'org)
(org-babel-tangle-file "~/.emacs.d/settings.org"
                       "~/.emacs.d/settings.el")
(load "~/.emacs.d/settings.el")
