Yep. Science says OP is wrong: https://www.acg.aaa.com/connect/blogs/4c/auto/zipper-merge-keeps-traffic-moving

ISTR there being some indication that as speeds increase, merging further away from the "final merge point" can help, but that's for designing roads with permanent lane reductions, not for temporary lane closures due to construction, accident, etc. But, I also couldn't find that science when I looked for it.
