Though it lets people live whether or not they can make an appointment, it doesn't let them live as well as they could and could leave them a bit of a buffer so that they can re-evaluate what they are doing.

For some people, the fact that they desperately have to make that appointment on time removes the motivation.

You and I enjoy our jobs because we don't desperately have to be on time. If I had to punch a time card, I'd be fucking out of here faster than you can type "logout" and hit Enter.

People can probably fix their lives with greater ease and probability of success if they can calm down a little bit.
