I guess I'll be the first disagree: The "good"/experienced programmers are the ones that will break established styles to improve readability in corner cases, instead of following the rules blindly. On top of that, they've probably been doing it long enough they have their own preferences and idiosyncrasies, some of which may go against established styles. On the flipside are the "bad" and new programmers, who don't really have their own style nor have learned an established one, so they just do whatever. It's the average ones in the middle who only follow established styles that I would expect to be easy to pick out.
