Is there any evidence that writing code in the demonstrated way produces higher quality? No? None at all!? Then why should I believe it? I might as well embrace healing and homeopathy too... I'd rather write my code like its written in the Linux kernel. There is no evidence that that style is better either, but at least Linus has provided loads and loads of arguments in favor of it on a mailing list.
