I'm no fan of open plan offices but the generalization from "me" to you" is a huge leap and not warranted by the sample-size-one experiment. Maybe if you have a ton of distractions at the office, your current tasks frequently need intense focus, and you can actually get work done at home without talking to people directly, then you'd be better at home. That's not true for everybody everywhere all the time. If we're generalizing from one sample, then I for one actually don't have a ton of distractions at my open plan office, and I love to be able to talk to my coworkers once in a while. I don't usually get more work done or even enjoy doing it more at home, except in some rare scenarios. I still dislike the open plan office, but this isn't why. And the alternative I find better is an actual shared room office (where the supposed "threats" are presumably still there?), not being at home.
