- Writing preserves precise, logical ideas over time, unlike oral communication which is less precise and ephemeral.
- Text demands sustained attention and clarity, allowing thoughtful compression and specification of ideas.

- Writing builds a detailed structure that is hard to achieve in spontaneous conversation.

- Deliver difficult or emotional feedback verbally before sending written documentation.
- Use writing as a 'record of truth' after meaningful in-person conversations to preserve clarity.
