That is my charitable interpretation, but it's always one or two changes across a module that has hundreds, maybe thousands of lines of code. I'd expect an auto-formatter to be more obvious.

In any case, just looking over your own PR briefly before submitting it catches these quickly. The lack of attention to detail is the part I find more frustrating than the actual unnecessary format changes.

Why would you are about blank lines? Sounds like aborted attempts at a change to me. Then realizing you don’t need them. Seeing them in your PR, and figuring they don’t actually do anything to me.

More likely artifact of debug prints being removed.
