My issue is the phrase "sake of beauty." This ignores why this code was written. I'm fine with beautiful code. My issue is the use of the word beautiful in such a way as to imply that beauty was the intent. People don't try to write beautiful code, people try to write good code. That it happens to be "beautiful" is a bonus.

Hopefully my point is clear. I guess it's subtle, but I think a crucial difference.

I actually thought the article would be about indention, style, etc.

Considering his examples, it's not. It's about architectural quality.

Indentation style is meaningless in this context.
