Because it is your unsubstantiated opinion cast as some form of fact that is
not a truth.

You have a right to your opinion, and clearly you hate the Python way of
indentation (which must therefore include any programming language with an
"offside rule" such as Haskell). You do not have a right to try and state that
your opinion is fact that others must also believe.
