I don't think that's Austen's point, no. It's more that completely disengaging from a primary communication tool within your company is risky. It might work out for you. There's also a big chance you'll be left out of important conversations, decisions, and been seen as not a team player because the rest of the organization now has to adapt around one person's communication preferences. Communication is tough. There are so many different, competing styles and needs that you'll never build the perfect tool. It's more about building the right habits and processes around your tools.
