True. But a room with a high ratio of active participants to total attendees
makes a much better sounding board for providing constructive feedback, than a
room with a low ratio. You get convergence on a sound proposal more quickly if
you can get good feedback from face to face meetings. And (provided the
attendees at such meetings represent a decent cross-section of interests),
proposals that have enjoyed such feedback are more likely to be
enthusiastically accepted by a mailing list.
