Exactly.
	if (There was a young lady named Bright

		Whose speed was far faster than light) {

		She set out one day

		in a relative way

	}

	And returned on the previous night
obeys the only-ident-by-tabs rule, as does
	if (To control chain reactions, your odds

			Improve if you've got cadmium rods) {

		In your fission reactor

		Their lack is a factor

	}

	In screams of "A meltdown! Ye gods!"
Now, the former makes it hard to tell what's condition vs consequent.

(Or whatever the correct technical term is in cases like these.)
