The analogy falls apart where people like to look at their own coding styles, but nobody likes to look at their own asshole. So the rule is more like “nobody likes to look at assholes at all”, which is a pretty different situation from coding styles. That’s a relevant enough distinction that I would call Warmenhoven’s analogy a bad one, good for provoking a laugh but not for discussing coding styles.
