The problem is not that you’re saying “offices are bad”, it’s that you’re conflating “the ability to maintain a healthy-ish mental state after being exposed to an office” with “a delusion that offices are good”.

Lots of bad things exist, being able to function in the face of Bad Things does not require you to deny or ignore that reality.
