Are you suggesting that it's hard to teach an intern how to consistently align code with spaces but not with tabs?

Or that people using tabs-only are in general more consistent in the other parts of code styling?

I _don't_ have any data to support either, but I strongly suspect it's completely unrelated to one another.

But I still disagree with your take on whether a team activity to achieve something of practical value can be or can contain art (and I am not thinking only about the presentation/appearance of code).
