that's like saying meetings alleviate the need for emails (documented decisions). Ideally you need both, but pair programming/meeting needs to be scheduled, with all the associated problems, async communication doesn't. If you have to pick one over another, then obviously that's async communication. A meeting without minute is a meeting that didn't happen.
