That strikes me as an admission that there IS a productivity gain by having more than one monitor though, physiological issues aside.

Maybe a _perceived_ productivity gain, but yes, having more real estate is nicer. And when it's gone, you notice it. Using a single smaller screen is just different behaviour. More cycling apps, window management, and hotkey usage.
