I used a specific example to disprove a straw men about the impact of tech choices on latency. Then I brought up a second personal example (e-commerce sites) and data from a large e-commerce site (impact of latency) to illustrate that latency could drive a direct business loss (and be very hard to measure).
> I recall an internal project where a team discussed switching a Python service with Go.
Picking an initial choice and switching a choice are very different problems. The latter has an inherent large cost.
