Inconstent spacing fools people's eyes and leads to bugs,
more often than not.

After 15 years of kernel development, I can remember at
least 10 or so multi-week-debugging sessions that could
have been curtailed had I not mis-read a poorly spaced
C statement.

It matters in practical terms, not just consistency terms,
trust me.
