My mistake, i thought you meant "code" where you wrote "codec". > my point was more that this is an older process from a time before instant and direct communication. I see it as introducing a layer of thought that doesn't need to exist if I can just ask someone from the source domain to send me their notes and walk me through them. Not quite true. No amount of instant/direct communication can help in removing ambiguity from "normal" Human communication. You need to have a method which enforces rigour and precision in the communication technique. That's what Decision Tables and other formal/mathematical methods help you with.
