The pendulum always swings to one extreme; it never seems to find a resting place in the middle. Productivity is all about balance, which is a word that never appears in this article. A blog providing polarizing advice won't be any sort of silver bullet, as the definition of "productive" will, quite often, change completely. One day it may be fielding calls, having meetings, and talking to clients. Another day it may mean sitting in a dark room for ten hours with a coffeemaker, a laptop, and yourself, just banging out bugfixes and feature requests. This is the kind of concept that should be felt out on a project by project / week by week basis, not with a rigid "WE NEVER DEVIATE!" attitude.
