It's a strange assertion to claim that people who care about formatting care about the craft more. IMO, it's the opposite: people who care about formatting prefer to talk and think about the periphery of programming not the actual act of programming itself. For the record, I reject the usually offered claim that the most important attribute is consistency. I have an easier to reading code written in a different style than understanding somebody with a different accent, but nobody is claiming we should only hire teams from the same regions of the same country.
