The experiment is well-designed to have statistically sound sample sizes all performing directly comparable and quantifiable work. BUT maybe at the cost of relevance to knowledge work in the US:
The researchers observed data entry workers in Chennai, India, who were working either in an office or at home, and found that those randomly assigned to working from home were 18% less productive than office workers.
Yes, that's a little unfair to a study in a field where sound experiment design often is hard to have. But only a little.
