You are mixing apples and oranges. The rule is different if the
separator is "" than if it is not empty. This playground link
https://play.golang.org/p/6nbTIW50i2g shows the difference. The OP was
asking about " " (non-empty) as the separator. The documentation for
Split is very specific about both these cases.
