I think it's largely "psychological" (as is much of life). I was at one
company that would not allow doc access, whose president was EXTEMELY ...
retentive. It never happened, and I am, thankfully, no longer there.

Hi Mark,
I have an article of yours (2013 I think) that says all this and have sent
it along to the powers that be ... Looking for additional articles to
bolster my case. FWIW I agree with you 100% as does my manager, but trying
to convince others is a challenge. I am reminded of a congressman who, when
asked how he could not vote to impeach Nixon, said "Don't confuse me with
facts, my mind is made up."
