It helps because it makes the patch reviewable. If you have a mix of format
and actual changes one has to painfully
look line by line to find the actual changes in the storm caused by the
reformat

Have a look at one of Adam's diffs that I cited as being reformatted and go
tell me what was changed, if anything.
