Meeting in person solves 90% of communication problems.  Although online
communication preserves the textual content of a message, it often fails
to convey the emotional and implicit contents, and lacks facial / body
language cues, which are equally important parts of human communication.
Video communication is somewhat better in preserving the facial cue
component, but often still lacks (most of) the body language.
