that's not necessarily what it means. some things legitimately are easier to explain in person. ever try working out a complicated mathematical argument in an email? one can do it, but it's not pretty. in person you can write on paper, draw figures, etc., synchronously with your compatriot observing and even participating. it's not merely a change of medium from text to sound.

Sounds like you need a better maths plugin, not a personal meeting.

In a personal meeting you instantly get feedback on what the other understands and what needs in-depth explanation, and they can ask questions. It's nothing like an email conversation.
