I still don't fully understand this argument. With Python, I am still 
doing indentation almost exactly the same way I was in any other 
language (and should be - I haven't ever seen any arguments for not 
indenting logical blocks).

The only difference is, I don't need to put a block-end-identifier.

I suppose I see how one could argue that this could potentially cause 
*mildly* confusing code, but only in extreme examples, and mainly only 
for multi-screen functions, that should rarely exist (and these are 
confusing even with bracketed blocks).
