Yesterday's questions focused on calculating the amount of time you need to be ready for your 9AM interview. So really, the purpose of being early is so you're ready at the agreed upon time of 9AM.
What does it mean "to be ready?" A general rule of thumb is if you are in the reception area (i.e. you have given your name to the receptionist) 10-15 minutes before your scheduled interview time, you're early (i.e. on time). That means you've used the restroom, you're calm, you're fully present and ready to be interviewed whenever the interviewer comes to get you.
Being early gives you a factor of safety (i.e. breathing room) in case one of your estimates is wrong. Say you miss the bus, when is the next one scheduled to arrive? You'll be able to be calm because you have planned a buffer.
Yesterday's questions will help you determine "what time to leave your location so you are early."
