You are thinking of the old eReader format that had a paragraph space and no INDENT. It needed the paragraph space because there was no INDENT.

So yes, an INDENT tells you you are at the start of a new paragraph. You don't need a paragraph space. A paragraph space is distracting and makes for a very uncomfortable read.

Using your analogy of a meal, paragraph spaces are like after you eat a full mean and then vomit it all back up. It's that bad. an INDENT and no paragraph spaces is your proper meal. The soup, the salad, the main course, and the dessert all served properly and not together.
How do spaces equate to vomiting up a meal?!?! An indent is required, but it's not enough.

Indent + spacing = a proper meal in proper order with the right cutlery.

Indent + no spacing = everything mashed up together, but eaten with the proper cutlery.

You might as well stuff your face into a trough at dinner time if you think the latter is good enough!!!
