If you are talking to me; simple, reading disabilities (dyslexia being 
the most common one) are real :) and code-style heavily impacts those.

For example, I have a really really hard time reading 2 space indent, 
especially in larger code bases. Also, CamelCase is very very hard for 
me to read also, as is statements without spaces `if((x<y&0xf)||z>a)` 
for example.

So codestyle affects those with reading disabilities, but not well known 
to the people without these, which is why I was raising awareness.

Hope this helps to explain things?
