If you think 'strict adherence to a style guide' is a sufficient, or even significant, aspect of 'high quality code', hoo boy. It's pointless distraction. If you're writing good code, it'll be readable on its own, and slapping some handcuffs on how it should look just gets in the way. Style Guides' primary purpose is [A] to at least curtail newbies who don't know what maintainable code looks like (but that just stops disaster, it doesn't make it 'good'), and [B] severely reduce discussions or corrections about style in code reviews. Which you can also do by just not whining about style. —
