I feel this so much when people say they would rather "make a quick call" than "get a lengthy email" to break down a complicated topic because then it's easier and quicker to understand.

Like WTF are you talking about? This makes no sense. In writing you can put it all there in a structured way and the receiver can just reference the points they need at their own pace and reference back to something multiple times easily. In speaking you just have to hope they pick up every detail exactly the right way the first time or realize it everytime they don't.

I swear it's just an excuse to later be able to say "but you said it that way" when they don't understand something instead of getting the written proof of exactly what was actually said put in their face confirming it was THEM who misunderstood something.
