: Well, this is pretty personal stuff. I doubt that "cause" is the right : word, but I can believe that the smaller the indentation level, the more : inclined someone might be to throw another if (...) or two in there. It : takes some judgement to realize when to break out a block of code into a : separate function. Let's just say that I've seen shallow indentation favored by programmers that tended to lack such judgement :-) : Still, 8 spaces seems a bit excessive to me, especially if the code : contains long variable names, etc. True, but for style(9) programs it is the law of the land...
