I like staying home to work on things too. But those arguments aren't necessarily convincing.
1. spent 3 days at work and 4th day figured out solution. Experimentally we need to see what if you spend 3 days at home and 1 day at office... You probably had tried bad solutions the first 3 days and now after eliminated bad one you found the right one on the 4th day.
I had many similar problems both at work and at home. Sometimes the distraction at home is too much to handle and I got lazy. Sometimes the noisy and tiredness put me to sleep at work. Sometimes I got a bad stomach and I wish I could be at home and use my private bathroom as quickly as possible. Sometimes forcing myself to sit in an office allows me to solve a problem and sometime it works when I stay home.

Totally not true. At Mozilla (I was a former intern) we are very busy on IRC. So even for people who are working at home they have a lot of meeting to go to and a lot of code to write.
The benefit of staying home is true in the 3rd point.
I say go to office at least once or twice a week, and then spend the rest of the week at home.
