Why? Constructive criticism involves explanations, not dictats.
Not on Usenet, it doesn't. There are accepted best practices. Declaring
variables in the smallest possible scope is one of them. It's enough
to point them out, no need to explain them all over each time.

No-one can dictate you. It's up to you to understand and decide if
you want to follow.

At present I don't feel inclined to follow this practice, purely
because I still don't fully understand the difference it would make
(experience may change my mind of course as there is invariably a
reason things are done the way they are).

Hmmm. Surely it would be more rational to adopt the accepted way of doing things until your understanding and experience are sufficient for you to make an informed choice to do so or not.
