The productivity is still lost. I can try to get something done before being interrupted by the scheduled time, or I can accept that nothing will get done beforehand and wait idly until he clock finally smiles upon me. The end result is the same either way. Try to fight back against reality as hard as you might, but there are only so many hours in the day and that is beyond your control. As engineers, we should recognize that we have to work in the confines of what we can control. Fine, catch me the moment I wake up. But good luck finding two team members who wake up at the exact same time each day. That never happens in the real world. No matter how you slice it, productivity is going to be destroyed.
