Let's assume that the string field Name has the value `Mr. Smith` and we change this to `Mr. Anderson` in the goroutine, what are the possible values that i could bet on a read? If these are either `Mr. Smith` or `Mr. Anderson` i am very ok with that because i want the value to be eventually consistent. If there is another possible outcome then i need to synchronize the access and refactor a lot.
