That just shows a lack of understanding on your part. There is a human being on the other side with the same feelings and subjective experiences as in person.

You may argue that team and culture is reinforced by doing activities that intrinsically require you to be in person (e.g. board game, sports etc.)

But I don’t quite follow why you absolutely need to be in person to find mentoring someone worthwhile.

No, it is a mistaken assumption on the part of remote partisans that humanity carries over through the internet. It doesn’t.
