I get this feeling. I guess a way to describe it would be to ask - are you constantly productive from the minute you sit down to the minute you leave? I work in an open-plan office, in a corner with my back to the room. As such, my monitor's in sight of 10 peers and managers. Someone might look over when I'm taking a quick break, or it might be when I've become distracted due to the noise level and am finding it hard to concentrate. Would you be happy with someone watching your screen remotely at unknown intervals?
It's not entirely logical - chances are no one's watching me - but it's brain overhead you don't need.
