I guess you just don't like the metaphor?
I thought you had misinterpreted it, so I was trying to help clarify by extending the metaphor. In case we're still misunderstanding each other: the pebble is the language's warts, which you can't remove, only avoid or work around. Every language has its warts, but we're talking about Go's here.
You don't have to be rude about it.
