Do you use a lot of one-line assembly blocks?  Are the braces that much 
of a burden?

Try this:
    asm {rol foo, 3;}
    asm { ... }
    asm { ... }

Too much of a burden, indeed. I like the alternative GCC way.
asm {ror foo, 3;} is ugly, isn't it?
And code blocks, where every line begins with 'asm', look more puritanical.

I'm sorry, I just don't understand.

Anyhow, why is this a plus?  Example:

	if (true) annoying();
	if (true) annoying();
	if (true) annoying();
	if (true) annoying();

Versus:

	if (true)
	{
		notAsAnnoying();
		notAsAnnoying();
		notAsAnnoying();
		notAsAnnoying();
	}

It also makes code harder to type, harder to copy and paste, uglier 
imho, and... ermm... well, i just don't like it.  I like my assembly 
clean ;).

I think the idea he's getting across is "rigid" or "non-flexible." 
Perhaps this doesn't qualify as a moral issue, but I get his drift. :-)
