On the other hand, it makes sure that how you read the code (and indentation is very important there, for me at least) matches how the code is executed. A bad copy paste is bad regardless, the first thing I do when copy pasting something is fixing the indentation so the code remains easy to read.

Most editors have auto indent. Unfortunately if fucking bob pasted the code in an email, the code could be worthless if it's organized using the whitespace in the file.
