Imagine, if you will, a mix of tabs and spaces that place two lines the same distance from the left-margin, yet, to Python, are at different indentation levels.
Visually identical means exactly that -- no visible distinction between the two programs. Take two screen-shots, they'll be identical down to the pixel.
Not 'similar'. Not 'really really close'. Identical.
It's not something you can defend. Which is funny, considering that it's not even the worst problem caused by Python's absurd use of whitespace.
