Unless somebody provides a good research on this topic, I dare to say, that it 
is total BS.

BTW, many people complain about syntax with significant whitespace, and still 
use whitespace to indent code in blocks, denoted with some parenthesis...

If whitespace is so bad, why this code:
    
    
    for i in 1..10 {
      doSomething(i)
      doSomethingElse(i)
    }
    
    
    Run

or even this:
    
    
    for i in 1..10
    {
      doSomething(i)
      doSomethingElse(i)
    }
    
    
    Run

is used instead of this:
    
    
    for i in 1..10 {
    doSomething(i)
    doSomethingElse(i) }
    
    
    Run

or this:
    
    
    for i in 1..10
    { doSomething(i)
    doSomethingElse(i) }
    
    
    Run

To sum it up, if the mentioned post author makes such statements, I doubt there 
is any value in the whole text. And it seems, that the Araq's answer supports 
this statement.
