There can never be "proof" that "return to office" is "pointless."
There are, of course, a myriad of variables that come into play for whether or not working physically near someone is more efficient than not.
Hyperbole is a bad thing in almost every case, in my opinion. And it is primarily used in the modern era to incite rage and misunderstanding between parties.
I don't think articles like this should be on HN.

Setting aside a possible uninteresting conversation about the semantics of the word proof and discussions of the nature of falsifiable hypotheses that were last interesting when we were in junior high, zero average change in stock price or negative average change in stock price would be a strong signal that return to office is pointless. If the statistical significance of the result were strong enough, I would absolutely consider such a result "proof" that "return to office" is "pointless." This research may or may not clear that bar (it's hard to tell from the linked summary).
