communication bit-rate is much higher f-2-f.

Main effect: kbps(speech) >>  kbps(typing).
Add in effect of diagrams - they're Mbps :-)

But also non-verbal cues, or questions/feedback, confirm the
communication is successful or the concept needs further explanation -
or trying alternate descriptions.

Anyone else what to take a punt at explain why f-2-f is faster and more
efficient than most anything?
