I agree that a machine can enforce conventions, but it can’t decide them for you. The primary point of conventions (IMO) is to aid the reading of code. If one style is more readable than another, that should be chosen.
If you think opening braces should go at the end of the line and I (incorrectly ;) ) think they should go on a line by themselves, our team style guide should probably pick exactly one of those. That’s a human choice after human debate, followed by machine enforcement.
