E-mail from CEO to Project Manager and Designer

I’m concerned about the architect’s renderings for the new building. Those rows and rows of desks seem crowded and unpleasant. Will people have enough space to work? Will they have enough privacy to call a client? We don’t want to create a boiler room atmosphere. We tell our staff that we value creativity. Are we generating their most creative ideas by having them sit elbow to elbow and stare at the same wall? Is a room full of parallel lines the best we can do for design?

My reasoning behind picking No for first part of the second question is that we don't have enough information to negate that statement, ie. tell us that privacy is not important. Is that right or did I reach the right conclusion but through the wrong reasoning?
