func Failure() error {...}
You can always choose to call an error-returning function without declaring any placeholder (`_`): Failure()
There are several commonly used functions that return errors that are regularly ignored. How about `io.Writer`? writer.Write([]byte("Hello")) // returns (n int, err error)
It's quite common to call that function without feeling a need to check on the bytes written or a possible error. Or, consider whether you consistently check the return values of `fmt.Println()`, which also returns `(n int, err error)`...
Nice little nod (on a post about Golf) to Tiger Woods.
