Not a dumb question at all. However, think about comments. Look at
this example.
i++; /* This variable is being incremented. I am commenting * * this because it is such a stupid variable
name */
Under my editor that comment lines up nicely but it will look cockeyed
for many people reading this because I used tabs instead of spaces and
my tabs are 4, not the usual 8.
