I've seen the productivity argument a lot, so I'm curious about this perspective. What does "productivity" mean here? Shipping code? Because if you ship code that doesn't work, did you really ship it? If you're writing a small throwaway sub-1000-line utility for internal use, I can see that, but if you're getting paid to ship code what is the definition of productivity?
