Meetings are important and necessary work if the team does not have consensus about what to do next. Meeting is one of the avenues where debates can happen in rapid succession. The time to arrive at such consensus should be short for well oiled, established team with high level of technical expertise. Even for less established teams effort should be put to reduce the time to arrive at a consensus. Sometimes consensus are going to be wrong, but even wrong consensus are arguably better than ones that takes forever to make. Mistake can be corrected, drawn out process where everybody take forever to convince sucks morale and paralyzes work, and is indicative of cultural problems.
