Standard Indentation etc.

This is called "argument from authority". Ok, where's yours?

I routinely use 8 space indentation; I have no problem reading it
that way. On the contrary, though I can read 4 space indentation
without difficulty, anything less causes me severe problems.

I would admit that I might be an exception, being legally blind, but
knowing many programmers who also prefer 8 space indentation, who
possess normal eyesight, and no particular tendency toward rabidity,
I have to doubt that your assertion is anything more than somebody's
opinion.
