My answer to this would have been: Because we would have to take time out of our lives just to prove a stranger on the internet, that he's wrong about something. And that's just not a convincing incentive. You complain: > You calling "go look through 3200 lines of Go code" (not including tests) > [1] a > "clear path" is a dubious comment at best. And it's fair not wanting to wade through the code (I didn't). But we did give you a much clearer and simpler way: The API contract says you should call Close, so you should. This requires almost no time to confirm. Again, the interest to write correct code should be *yours* here. It is unreasonable to complain that you would have to wade through the code and expect us to not only do *that*, but then *also* carefully craft a program which proves you wrong - when the only person who benefits from it is you and the only reason it's necessary is that you refuse to keep to a simple API contract. Again, kudos to Dan. He certainly was a lot more willing to sacrifice his time for the benefit of a stranger than I would've been or is reasonable to expect.
