So are people not allowed to prefer open office layouts? They're not allowed to discern what works for them, because there couldn't possibly be any variables that make the results of some study irrelevant to their unique situation? Edit: It would appear the answer is "no", no one is to be allowed make that decision. HN hates open plans more than they hate sexism.

So meet us "private office folks" half way and have enough private offices and open space for everyone. That way if you want to work in the open office section you can but the rest of us aren't forced into low productivity and constant low level anxiety simply because you enjoy it.

  That sounds like a reasonable compromise, but I'll need to see some studies before trying it.
