The Broken Windows Theory may be bullshit when it comes to criminology, but I truly believe it applies to code.

I've seen a lot of negligently written code with broken windows on the surface, that deep down turns out to be criminally insane.

If somebody's doesn't give a shit enough to indent their code, they usually don't give a shit enough to design it either.
