I am by no means a typography expert, nor is it a major focus of mine. I have however spent a lot of time reading non-technical prose, and I had a visceral reaction to your comment because of how wrong it seemed. To me the after is so obviously better it struck me as though you were somebody who had never done much deep reading and mainly consumes code or short-form text.

Now, I am completely aware there is nothing behind this other than my visceral reaction. I do not know you at all. I share it only to communicate that to somebody with my background it is an obvious and fundamental improvement.
