If you want others to understand your code and help you, you have to have your braces alone on a single line, because my teacher showed me that's the way it has to be done, ans that's the way I teach my students, so that's the way you have to do it, because I am a teacher, so I am always right. Or because I am a senior engineer, so I am always right.
That's the teaching/training methodology that goes among the teacher/trainer and the pupils/recruits, and it continues upto the time when the pupils/fellows acquire some kind of intellectual level that make them again teachers/trainers. This is not an authoritative approach; rather, it provides a platform for the formation of foundation knowledge based on which future autonomy comes in.
