Remote participation has a non-incremental cost to the person.

The return on investment can be negative if the person who is remote has not
made human contacts with others that seems to be necessary to establish
enough trust to get work adopted and progressed.  While exceptional people
can do this by email, and this was easier before the continuous September,
it is, I think exceptional.
