What a strange limitation. Why are you not comparing apples with apples?

The correct comparison would be “getting the braces to match the
intended structure” compared with “getting the indentation to match the
intended structure”.

As you say, the data is thin on the ground for this issue. Would you
accept the charge that you're being just as dogmatic about the
superiority of braces-as-block-syntax?

If so, good for you; we're all equally dogmatic by your definition.
Let's move on.

If not, what makes your position less dogmatic than ours?
