There's tradeoffs involved for moving things to text. On the bad side, it's inherently a low-bandwidth channel, and you cannot interrupt to prune irrelevant digressions from the conversational tree. On the plus side, however, it creates a written artifact that people can refer back to later. This can be incredibly useful, particularly for people with working memory or other executive function issues. Or for things that are complicated enough that a normal amount of WM/EF cannot cope with what's being communicated.
