Style guides are always going to be considered incorrect by some people, but they should aim more for consistency (the hobgoblin that may be), which is what makes code easier to grok. Stop arguing, start thinking about others who will have to read your code. What is better in your subjective opinion means very little. Having commonly understandable style is what matters, and what style guides help (including PEP8).
