By consistency, I did not mean that the style is consistent in all constructs. 
I meant that the developers are consistent in how they apply the style. That’s 
what’s important.

Coding standards ensure that all the developers working on a project write code 
in exactly the same style, regardless of how that style is defined. When 
working on teams, we might feel very strongly about where to put braces or 
whether we use tabs vs. spaces, but these things ultimately don’t matter, as 
long as the team agrees to write the code in the same style. I can continue to 
disagree with the style, but I can compromise because I agree that being 
consistent (writing the code in the same style as the rest of the team) is the 
most important reason to use a coding standard.
