Great Post!

I agree that formatting and whitespace tweaks add to the overall noise of the diff, but I also think there can be appropriate times and a places to get the code tidy. If the PR Author knows a file is unchanged they could add a "heads up" comment for the reviewer. Alternatively, they could open a separate PR that is purely formatting/code cleanup.
