Does the Aqueduct still pay out when the robber blocks your only producing hex?

A publisher reply only argues for it, but several posters agree, citing the Kosmos FAQ and the 10th anniversary rules; one disagrees.

Yes. When a roll other than 7 gives you no resources or commodities, the Aqueduct lets you take one resource of your choice from the bank. A hex the robber sits on produces nothing, so a blocked roll counts. It never pays on a 7.
