I thought I had done that. I pointed out that LHS (whitespace) is
significant when it comes to code structure but RHS seems significant
when it comes to a condition structure (according to this PEP's
recommendation). That inconsistency was my argument in the message you
responded to.

And that's fair enough. I certainly have no desire to argue this until
everyone agrees with me (which is what some people are accusing me of) -
I'm just replying to those who keep saying "because PEP8".
I'm done with this thread.
