The stress being on the solder isn't the problem.

The issue with SMT is the stress is on the copper pad/trace, and these can just peel off without a real lot of effort.

With PTH the component is pinned in the hole by solder on either side of the board so it can't move.

What difference does it make if a person is at their desk, in bed, or at the beach?

The only question you should be asking is "are they doing their job?".

If you don't know the answer to that then you're not doing your job as a manager. The employee's work location is irrelevant to this.

Judging a person's performance based on how warm their chair is very common, it's a pretty shitty way to manage though.

So when it is going say 10 over the speed limit to keep with traffic and gets into a crash due to some unforeseen circumstances that maybe a bit slower wouldn't have had an issue, who wants the liability that it was indeed breaking the law, and was programmed to do so intentionally?

Lawyers would have a field day before and after if they are let off the hook... so minor infractions don't matter as proven in the case of autonomous cars...
