Open office is the complete disaster result of an unholy alliance of management trying to skate by on the cheap and agile consultants pimping their latest slogans.
Even without open office, there is so much chit-chat, gossip, politics, posturing (how about a meeting to discuss the upcoming meeting), and other crap that gets swept under the rug as collaboration.
Don't forget that certain personality types just can't handle working from home or in a quiet environment. They'll just go bonkers, so they run around telling everybody else that you can't be creative and collaborate without chatting someone up in the urinal next to you.
The top comment spin is so humorous that you would almost think it's a troll, but probably not.
I'm about twice as productive at home too, when I have a concrete solo task. But early in a project, when we're not sure what it is yet, collaboration matters.
