Understood, but over quite a few years I've sat in WG meetings where >50% of the time has been slide shows - often given at lightning speed without time to even read the slides properly. Of course, sometimes, the diagrams are helpful but that's the exception.

In the ideal world there'd be no presentation because everybody read the draft, one slide with open issues and then the discussion.
