It's just uncivilised to get rid of them. What next - we start walking the streets in our underwear?

Actually, it's uncivilized to have them. It distracts the eyes as you read. You are reading this nice text and then boom, the eyes get distracted because of the blank space. Blank space is supposed to say to the reader, it's a new section. It's not supposed to say oh, it's a new paragraph. That's just wrong is so many ways.
I have seen a lot of publisher use a .3em paragraph space and while it's readable, it's not optimal.
