Arguments of style are our desire for this work to be easier turning us against one another. We write our statements for both human and machine colleagues (who will never see eye-to-eye.) I regret that formatters can prevent us from laying things out most clearly at times.
Formatters feel varying levels of painful on a per-language basis. The balance probably lies in empathy: It wasn't best to write it that way if it was not beneficial to either the machine or your collaborators.
On the other hand, if it brings someone joy to write in their distinct style, would we deny that joy?
