Haha! The irony; I found your comment in a HN search for Lisp.
In the search result, your painstakingly indented code appears flattened to the left margin, destroying the correctness of its structure.

You are right. When tools are not being friendly to indentation based syntax, the code with indentations would be a mess. Parentheses and curly braces are lot like "defensive programming" against unfriendly tools.
