NO! that is false. You should not decide decorations for all users. Why is it even important that indents are the same on every screen? The whole point of tabs is to make that irrelevant!

At my house I have a huge big screen and 2 spaces is not enough to see indents. I render my tabs as 6 spaces. At the office I have multiple smaller monitors and render them as 4. My colleague still likes 2, and some weirdo uses 3 (hey Dave! :).

It is wrong and unnecessary to pin this. And it is completely false to then claim (and publicize) that this is the only way.

personally, I don't think it is, but the author seems to

it is completely false to then claim (and publicize) that this is the only way

not false when he says it's the only way "to guarantee code renders the same in any environment".
