Spaces don't matter in fixed-form Fortran source files, so I don't get that at all. And case doesn't matter in either source form.

Yes, sorry for the confusion. To be clear, the quote is directly about spaces not being significant in the source code in general, but I was commenting more about how this mindset affects variable names in practice. At least in my experience, many codes would benefit from variables names that use underscores.
