Firstly I was pointing to the origin of "a door that shuts". It's not an example of micromanagement, it's an example of a finding from a study performed by IBM that programmers in private offices were more productive on any measure.
Secondly I was pointing out that the same book also tells managers to recruit bright people, give them goals, enable their work, and then go away.
I suspect Peopleware is the most widely not-actually-read book in this industry.
