You are misunderstanding his point even though masklinn explained it. It's not about the specific point of operator precedence. It is about designing something that has internally sound logic but is very unexpected by a typical new user. And he provided the example of time package patterns in Go which imho fits very well. Yea it makes sense but I'm sure there are hordes of users that think "why doesn't this work like in virtually every other language?". It's probably good to not take the "typical" too literally and more as a "Rob Pike has done a few designs in the past that have this quality".
