I did not downvote that comment, but I think it's bad advice for two reasons:

1. It tries to address the sympthoms without solving the problem. Building a workflow around the distractions assumes that my time is less important than everybody else's.

2. Programming is hard. The comment suggests that the solution to the overhead caused by context switching is... adding more overhead. How about letting people work in peace instead?
