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.
I will therefore spare you my personal, subjective opinion about this
topic.
