If you take the word as gospel, but why should we? It is hard to believe. As shocking as it may be, not everything you read on the internet is true.

Either way, the fact of the matter is that discussion about code is silly without code. Since I have no knowledge of the actual code in question, which has suspiciously been kept a secret for some reason, I'll open the bidding with this: https://go.dev/play/p/xEnGTmJ_57g — From the output alone, you don't think you'd be able to gain a pretty good idea of what the problem might be?

Feel free to update the code with something more real-worldy if you think the contrivedness of it masks what you are trying to talk about. We had to start somewhere.
