"It'd be easier to discuss in person" means "I don't want a record of this because it's either illegal or shows my incompetence".

Any meeting that they want to talk about in writing should ALWAYS be recorded.

    Also, carefully laying thoughts out in text for 40 minutes takes a lot less time than explaining it meaningfully to multiple people, probably more than once if it was important enough. Absolutely nothing wrong with that.

    Yes, either that or "I haven't thought this through well enough that I can explain it in writing, so please let me fumble through an oral explanation and—in all likelihood—waste your time".

    Or, "I'm dyslectic and would prefer to talk rather than write", which is fair enough, I think.
