Now you use string, down the line someone will 'optimize' code with []byte and suddenly you may read `Mr. Smitrson` as well. Also, for raced parts of the structure, you inevitably will end with `Mr. Anderson` having Mr. Smith's salary and Mr. Smith having coat color of Ms. Brown's dog. Hope that below lecture will help [1] https://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/2013/01/06/benign-data-races-what-could-possibly-go-wrong -- Wojciech S.
