I'm not rejecting empirical findings that contradict the generational hypothesis. I simply don't believe anybody has actually done any rigorous measurements of object mortality in Go and how it compares to other languages. In the absence of such measurements, I'm going to speculate similar allocation patterns to C#, which has a very similar model and the generational hypothesis certainly does hold for it. I'd be more than happy to discard my speculation if it happens to be wrong!
