Looks like Larry is simplifying or making a novice mistake.  Knuth
wrote that whitespace indentation is good when languages can let you
write small blocks of code.  Python does this for you.  In fact,
Python is set up to gently prod you to write clear chunks of code.

Perl is not.  It's a different philosophy.  If he believes there's
more than one way to do things, he should realize that Python has its
own way.
