I didn't accidentally illustrate anything.   And everything has a
cost.  Why don't you list for yourself the cost of editing code with
significant white space?
Maybe for you, those costs are irrelevant.   For me, the costs of ends
in Ruby code are irrelevant.

But your point was about *readability* not maintainability.   I don't
think that good project organization is a 'cost' to readability.
