Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
Only if a person's machine is set to a tab size of four spaces. By this logic, we would need eight spaces for the people with a larger tab size of eight on their machines so they could be 1:1. Minimizing horizontal space is ideal as not everyone has huge horizontal monitor space to work with. But, everyone has infinite vertical space with scrolling.
I think they mean the word 'tabs'
oh lol, I missed that =p
If your code takes up so much horizontal space with 4-space tabs, you're putting too much on one line or indenting too deep. 4-space tabs keeps your line length manageable.
If you have to nest more than 2 layers, rewrite your code.
Or you're using four spaces per tab, just throwing that out there. =p
