This is fud, I've never seen in Go code people dropping the err with _.

The reason why you don't see that is because you have to be explicit about that, it's not something you forget it's done on purpose which obviously no one does.

Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It's very easy to mishandle errors in golang, I've seen it several times now.
