A couple of points on negative productivity

0. There is a cost on the communications between team members, if the team is larger the cost is larger 1. There are costs on integrating (in some cases re-working) sub-par code that does not fit with the rest of the team

If the programer is just average, the impact is not that terrible but it exists, but if the programer is actually bad, I can tell you from personal experience that the costs will be very significant.
