It should be obvious that all right-thinking people (like, for example, Paul 
and myself) have long known that spaces are part of God's plan (tm).  
Unfortunately, in some cases we have failed in our mission to impart that 
wisdom to the great army of the unwashed, for which omission we will doubtless 
pay dearly in the afterlife.

I do like the idea of the 160-space indent, though.
