1) No structure
Discussion is like conversation in that it is a free-form dialogue without any direction. Each person responds to what the last person said. While this can produce entertaining party chatter, it seldom leads to agreements or decisions. In fact, in a meeting, discussion can even make things worse. For example, suppose you said:
"We need to talk about the new database."
And then someone says:
"Is that the one that crashed last night?"
"Actually, it was a minor bug."
"It shut down the Chicago office."
"I heard their IT department is being reorganized."
"Hey, what do you call a Chicago organ transplant?"
And so on . . . .

Why do we hate advertising? Because it is intrusive, importunate, sometimes vulgar. Everyone will give their own reasons. But you see what a contradiction – without advertising there are no sales. That is true. People may keep on telling you
"Hey, what do you call a Chicago organ transplant?"
And so on . . . .
This happens because discussion is a divergent process. Each idea elicits a response from someone else.
2) No equality
Discussion favors those who think quickly. It also favors those who are loud, expressive, intimidating, entertaining, and important. As a result the more aggressive participants do all of the talking while the more reflective ones watch.
