I don't follow your saying.  It's actually a very interesting thread.
Here are two of the better posts advocating gotos:

Note:  This post isn't actively advocating for gotos in euphoria--though
I think there's a place for them, especially in the form of something
like a "continue" statement.  It's also amusing [to me] to note that
much of the speed of euphoria is due to gotos.
