The idea of not wasting lines doesn't go against the idea of
adding blank lines to create code paragraphs. When you are
adding a line to divide chunks, you are not wasting vertical

Well, I would not rant about this if not his actual example in
"Spacing" block. This very example of "bad" code has every empty
line added right where it fits. And "good" one is a mess that
hurts my eyes when I try to concentrate on some distinct parts.
