Yes, everybody's time is very expensive. So why are you wasting it all with a "last post wins" style of argumentation? A maintainer has NAK'ed it. Please drop this.
There is a reason why whitespace fixes are often consider to have extreme negative value, and a deep suspicion that people are doing this just to say that they have a patch in the kernel, perhaps in the misapprehension that this will help them get a job.
Let me say that if I were a hiring manager, and I did a Google search on a potential job application, and came across a thread like this, my reaction would be extremely negative.
