This is all true, but the idea that it can't be replicated online is silly. How did you arrange to have lunch with these people? You went looking for them, rounded them up, and sat down to lunch. You can do that online as well. It is certainly true that random conversation in the halls can also happen and lead to useful consequences, but having taken heavy advantage of "running into people" in BA, I can tell you that a lot of it was deliberate, and the parts that weren't probably would have been triggered by WG meetings even if they hadn't been triggered by just running into someone familiar in the lobby of the Hilton.
