Even even they have very glaring imperfections, they are still infinitely more useful than absolutely nothing.
No, they’re not, they are literally nothing because they do not say anything about remote work being less productive or hybrid work being more productive.
I can present you a study on the population levels of minks in North America but that doesn’t make it better than nothing because it says nothing about the current topic we’re discussing. The studies at the core of their arguments are not even trying to compare hybrid companies to remote ones or in-office ones, they’re measuring what happens when you disrupt established patterns.
No you didn’t, because if you had you would realize that they were quoting experts and scientists throughout the article and wouldn’t have accused me of just believing what some journalist said. It’s not like this was some sneaky part of the piece, it was front and center throughout it.
I accused you of just blindly accepting what an article said at face value like that’s abnormal because I was annoyed and being unfair, no one is reading through the sources of every article they read, but that doesn’t change the fact that in this case if you look at the evidence the article is based on, it’s flimsy, niche, and not actually saying what the article author is saying (I would argue that even the abstract from the Stanford paper is grossly misleading).
