Do you think that point is often missed? I would have said the opposite: that it's pretty obvious that most of the advantages of working in person would apply only to fairly small teams that can collaborate synchronously.
Yes I do. A lot of people seem to think that if everyone went into an office, they'd all be working with a co-located team sitting a stone's throw from each other. This may be true with startups. It's often not the case (with local small team exceptions) for larger companies--especially those which already had practices of being fairly flexible about location for a lot of hires.
