Conversely, until the technology gets that good, we must not penalize
the face-to-face meeting for failures of the technology.
Unfortunately, we've been doing that for many years, e.g. by forcing
speakers to queue up at the microphones, and by arranging seating so
that it's difficult to get to the microphones unless you're seated near
an aisle. If you actually think you might want to speak at a f2f
meeting, you need to show up early (forgoing any potentially valuable
hallway conversations) and get a seat near an aisle.
