No, it is an argument against it. We indent code so that it is more comfortable to read it, not in order to make it easier to understand

Indentation is a secondary notation that is often intended to lower cognitive load for a programmer to understand the structure of the code.

Lol. Go on, show me how it is easier to understand structure of the code when I am 3 levels down, first two are already out of sight

That's not a coherent argument, but you don't have to agree with me. I think this discussion has run its course.

What a nice way to say "I can't back my standpoint up". Anyway, do have a good day
