The Irrelevant Start Time

Hello. One of my dad's strongest lessons growing up was to be no later than on time for an appointment or a meeting. As a result, I became rather anal about getting to places on time. In fact I reschedule everything else around any appointment I have.
What I have found out throughout my experiences is the start time of a meeting or appointment is irrelevant.
Why? Because it's not the appointment that makes the start time relevant. It's the people attending that make the start time relevant.
For example, if 5 people are supposed to attend a meeting, and only 4 are there when the start time comes, the status of the 5th person will determine the start time relevancy. If the 5th person is relevant, the start time will be delayed. If the 5th person is irrelevant, the meeting will start immediately.
Can this be changed? More tomorrow.
