Personally, I would consider "objective arguments" to be controlled, repeatasble, studies with quantitative results. I've seen such studies about light-background-dark-foreground vs. dark-foreground- light-background, which is why I use the former now. I haven't seen such studies about line width, especially not with Python text as opposed to English text.
Personally, I would be amazed to see any significant difference between the two foreground/background combinations you list. ;-)
Entirely off topic by now, but these differences are more significant for e.g. dyslectic people. And these studies exist and are the reason exam papers in the UK are printed black on yellow etc.
Which papers? Not SATs, GCSEs or A-Levels. -- Arnaud
